Whats a Good App to Hide Certain apps Behind a Password or Pattern Unlock?

I've been wanting to Curb my Doom Scrolling Habits as of Recent as I've been wasting waaaay to much time opening the Same Apps 5 Times in 10 Minutes.

One Method thats been Said to Work wonders in that Regard is to have Apps only be accessible after typing in a Password. After doing a bit of Light research it seems I'll need an App for this as I don't wanna deal with Samsungs "Safe Folder" needing a Samsung Account stuff.

Do any of you have Suggestions for Trust Worthy Apps for this?

your phone ?

my Motorola Razr 50u has a secure folder, it's not as nice a setup as Samsungs but it's there and can be configured to use a password. It seems to be part of Android these days, needed to be turned on from settings.

from memory, you only need a Samsung account on Secure Folder if you want to back things up etc

Yeah No I've tried everything with the Secure Folder. Allas anything to do with it needs a Samsung Account. Maybe older Versions didn't need it... but yknow how that kinda stuff goes

Not sure if it has the exact feature you are looking for but https://github.com/curbox-app/curbox-android does seem to be an all-in-one solution to your problem in general.
