Rewriting the URL's of 2 subfolders in a /public (root document) folder – Apache

Currently I have a “public” folder being root directory where all my frontend code goes.

But since my public folder contains both the website content and app content, I would like to split it more up.
So my idea was:

.htaccess (rewriting public url)
src (php backend code)
public/
  web/
    index.php
  app/
    account.php

So my problem is, I can easily go to the pages like this:
http://example.com/web/index.php
http://example.com/app/account.php

but I would like to remove “web” and “app” from the URL’s…
http://example.com/index.php
http://example.com/account.php

How can I do that using .htaccess? I’m running apache 2.4.

EDIT
An example of what I’ve tried:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !app/
RewriteRule (.*) /app/$1
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !web/
RewriteRule (.*) /web/$1

    I've tried so many different things now, but I finally figured it out.

    RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# Rewrite every web request
RewriteCond         "%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/web/%{REQUEST_URI}"  -f
RewriteRule "^(.+)" "%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/web/$1"

# Rewrite every app request
RewriteCond         "%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/app/%{REQUEST_URI}"  -f
RewriteRule "^(.+)" "%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/app/$1"

# Remove .php extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

    This works when having a setup:

    public/ (root folder)<br>
   web/ (contains website frontend)<br>
   app/ (contains app frontend)<br>
   .htaccess (contains the code above)

    Probably you need to tune up your requests. But a first approach is:

    First, make sure that you have mod rewrite enabled.
    Second, write the following in the .htaccess

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^[/]?index.php$ /web/index.php [NS,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^[/]?account.php$ /app/account.php [NS,NC,L]

    You will need to read the documentation to make other rules. You can read it here
    https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_rewrite.html

    Also pay special attention on the flags. Read the documentation to set the ones that applies to your situation.
