Desktop Ghost Pro For Mac

Whenever you want to take a screenshot or capture a video of your desktop, the various files and shortcuts scattered across it usually need to be hidden.

Manually moving them to another location is not the best solution and, while some apps can overlay an image onto your screen, this renders your desktop inaccessible.

Desktop Ghost Pro offers a simpler method: it makes all your icons invisible for as long as you wish, while allowing you to add new files and folders on you desktop that can be accessed without restrictions.

Initially, Desktop Ghost Pro is displayed in your Dock, and you can bring up the main app window to hide or reveal desktop icons.

However, you also have the option of sending it to the menu bar, ensuring that stays out of your way while remaining easily accessible.

Whenever you choose to hide your icons, the app makes all the files and folders on the desktop invisible until you decide to reveal them again.

If new items are placed on your desktop, they are not affected in any way. Pressing the 'Hide' button again, however, causes the app to conceal these new icons while also keeping the old ones hidden.

It is also worth noting that the files and folders on your desktop become completely inaccessible while they are hidden, even if you navigate to this location using Finder.

In a nutshell, Desktop Ghost Pro is a lightweight app that does the job it was designed for very well and stays out of your way until you have need of it. Moreover, Desktop Ghost Pro is very simple to configure and it allows you to hide icons while remaining in complete control of your Mac's desktop.
