Hides

Hides is a great tool if you're using just one monitor, especially on a smaller laptop. You know how quickly screen space can disappear? It’s super easy to switch between windows, but that often means other apps are peeking through in the background. And let’s be real, that’s not ideal when you’re trying to concentrate.

Declutter Your Desktop

This is where Hides comes into play! It automatically hides all your open applications except for the one you're focused on. You can turn on focus mode for all apps or just the ones you choose. Plus, you can customize hotkeys to toggle this mode and access other functions easily.

Avoid Distractions

You might think having extra windows open isn’t a big deal, but they can really pull your attention away from what you need to do. Sure, you could hide them by hand, but that gets old fast—especially if you have to hide a new app every time you switch tasks.

Automatic Focus Mode

With Hides, it all happens automatically! Only one application will show up at a time along with its open windows. You can activate focus mode right from the main UI, menu bar, or by hitting those customizable hotkeys.

Flexible Settings

If there are times when you only want certain apps hidden, Hides lets you pick which ones to keep in view. If left as default, it will hide everything that's not in the foreground. This way, it's all about keeping your workspace tidy!

User-Friendly Hotkeys

Beyond just focusing on one app, you can set hotkeys for hiding everything instantly or keeping only the active app visible. Just a heads up: macOS has its own shortcut for hiding non-active apps too, so that feature might not see much use.

A Tool for Focus Fanatics

Hides isn’t for everyone though. If having just one app on your screen doesn’t work for you, it might actually get in the way of your work. But hey! If you're looking for the ultimate distraction-free setup, this could be exactly what you've been searching for!
