I'd like to harden my device and put some of my apps (mail & chat mostly) behind an additional layer of security. I found this app, that comes pretty close to what I had in mind.

However, it hasn't been updated in 5 years and some options in the app are still flagged as in development. Anyone know of a maintained alternative?

I use Hail and Shizuku, but I might have misunderstood what you're after.

Not quite what I was looking for. I basically want to lock some apps behind an additional unlock process, ideally a password. The app I linked to does this with an unlock pattern.

you can fit hail to do that, as apps are unaccessible without going through Hail, and Hail has an option to lock it behind pattern/fingerprint 🤔

Oh sorry I completely misunderstood indeed. I have no locks on my phone, not even screenlock.
