Is there a way to unpublish or archive an app. I don’t want to delete the app in case I need it in future. Just want to make it inaccessible and not in use. ---

You can set a password that you don’t share with anyone. ---

Okay. But it still keeps it under org’s and stays on the billing plan and cycle. ---

Ah, in an org, under your Billing settings, click the three-dots next to your app and choose ‘Unpublish’. ---

I think this is outdated. Try going to settings \> plan \> and switch to free plan ---

Thanks @Pablo_books However, switching to personal (free) - shows this: ![glide2_public](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/7/d7fa647280bfae3c3cc7bf891c351d6e1ca8ac8f.png) i already switched the app to private with a password. so i don’t know what ‘rules’ here. this message, or the password.? i prefer not to ‘experiment’ i do not want this publicly accessible even for a minute. ---

I do not believe that is true. You can have a free private app. However, I would agree with you. I wouldn’t risk it. Perhaps contact [support@glideapps.com](mailto:support@glideapps.com) ---

Duplicate the app, don’t publish the duplicate, then delete the original app. ---
