Overview of SecretFolder's Key Features
When you launch SecretFolder for the first time, a password setup window like the one below will appear, and you must enter a password before you can use the program.
After setting a password and launching SecretFolder, you will see buttons like the ones below.
Add - Adds the folder you want to hide.
Remove - Removes a previously added folder. ( The folder itself is not deleted; it is only removed from the list. )
Lock - Hides the folder added through the Add button.
Unlock - Makes a folder hidden through the Add or Lock button visible again.
Preferences - Opens the window where you can configure the main settings.
About - Opens the program information window.
Now let's look at how to hide a folder and restore it again.
First, to hide a folder, click the "Add" button.
When the Browse for Folder window appears, "select the folder you want to hide" and click the "OK" button.
You will then see that it has been added to the list as shown below, and the folder will be changed to a hidden state.
To remove a folder from the list, click the "Remove" button.
Clicking the "Yes" button will remove it from the list, but the actual folder will not be deleted.

Anthropic Unveils โChannels,โ a New Way to Control Claude Code Sessions Directly from Mobile
Anthropic has introduced Channels, a new feature that makes it much easier to use Claude Code in mobile environments. With this update, users can control their AI coding agent through messaging apps like Telegram and Discord, sending instructions from their smartphones as casually as they would text a friend.
At launch, Channels supports Telegram and Discord first. This means users no longer need to be sitting in front of a desktop development setup to interact with an active Claude Code session. Whether they are commuting, away from their desk, or simply on the go, they can reconnect to an existing session and send prompts in real time. Requests like โcheck that error again,โ โsummarize the test results,โ or โcontinue refactoring that codeโ can now be handled directly from a mobile device.
What makes this update especially interesting is how it expands the development environment into communication tools people already use every day. Until now, coding agents were typically accessed through traditional developer interfaces such as IDEs or terminals. With Channels, familiar messaging apps themselves become the interface for directing the agent. Instead of learning a new workflow, users can collaborate with AI in an environment that already feels natural and intuitive.
Another important aspect is continuity of context. This is not just about sending isolated commands from a phone. Users can stay connected to the flow of an existing session and continue work without losing momentum. That makes the feature especially practical for developers who are in meetings, traveling, or working asynchronously with teammates. Even when they are away from their main machine, they can still monitor progress and provide instructions as needed.
Ultimately, Channels makes AI coding agents more accessible, more lightweight, and more integrated into everyday work. It reflects a broader shift away from development environments tied to a single device or location, and toward workflows that can continue anywhere. If Anthropic expands platform support and continues refining the experience, messenger-based AI development workflows could become mainstream sooner than many expect.
