Hide Window Hotkey

Hide Window Hotkey is a handy little tool for anyone who struggles with too many windows open on their desktop. We all know how distracting that can be, right? This app lets you manage your open windows by toggling their visibility using hotkeys. It’s a simple way to boost your productivity!

Outdated Interface but Useful Features

Let’s be real: the interface isn’t the prettiest. It feels pretty old-school and doesn’t quite match the sleek look of modern Windows software. But if you're like me and care more about functionality than style, this won’t bother you much. The app gets the job done!

How it Works

Once you open Hide Window Hotkey, you'll see a list of all your active windows right away. You can check off the ones you want to hide or close. After that, just hit the action button at the top of the app to do your thing! If you close a window, it disappears from the list. Hiding a window just changes its status, so you can bring it back anytime.

Customize Your Hotkeys

If you forgot that this app is all about hotkeys, don’t worry! When you dive into the options menu, you'll find all sorts of ways to customize your keys or combinations to hide, show, or close those pesky windows quickly. You can even create shortcuts for hiding active windows or use mouse keys if that’s more your style.

Other Handy Settings

This app also offers some cool general settings. You can set it to start automatically when your computer does, mute sounds when hiding apps, auto-select new windows as they pop up, and even require a password when clicking on the tray icon! Plus, you have options for managing hidden applications when shutting down.

The Bottom Line

In summary, while Hide Window Hotkey is super useful for managing open windows, it does have its quirks—like that dated look and some minor glitches in navigating menus. Depending on what you're after, you might want to explore other paid options or keep this one handy for those times when things get too cluttered!
