Visibility Settings
Visibility controls who can find and open your published app. It does not change how user data is stored or shared.
Visibility Options
Published apps support three visibility settings:
| Setting | Who can access it | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Public | Anyone who finds the app, including through your profile or discovery surfaces when eligible | Community tools, portfolio apps, and apps you want others to discover |
| Unlisted | Anyone with the direct link | Internal tools, apps for a specific group, or selective sharing |
| Private | Only you | Personal tools, experiments, and apps with sensitive setup details |
Choosing a Setting
Choose Public when you want the app to be visible and discoverable. Public apps can appear on your profile and may become eligible for search, discovery, or curated sections when they meet quality signals.
Choose Unlisted when you want to share the app with specific people. Unlisted apps do not appear in public listings or search results, but anyone with the link can open them.
Choose Private when the app is only for you. Private apps are hidden from other users and from public platform surfaces.
Data Stays Private
Visibility affects access to the app, not access to your personal data. Each user gets their own isolated database when they use a published app. Other users cannot see your data, and you cannot see theirs, even as the app creator.
Changing Visibility
You can hide an app by changing its visibility to private or archiving it. This keeps your app and data safe while removing the app from public view.
