Try "Shelter". It's available on F-droid. It's an app that lets you manage your phone's "Work Profile". I use it to house scummy corpo apps that I occasionally need, but don't want running all the time. From inside the work profile, HSBC shouldn't be able to see apps installed outside of it.
Updated 2 years ago. Is this abandoned or just simply a slow rate of progress?
It's a simple app that leverages a built in android feature and nothing more. I use it for the same reason as the guy above you. There's no updates to be made.
Thanks
I haven't kept up with the development side of it...
Clicking through the links on F-droid, their issue tracker (https://lists.sr.ht/~petercxy/shelter) is active as of three weeks ago. Author's github shows commits as of November 2024, and suggests a custom F-droid repository.
Thanks
