Hiide For Mac

Keeping the frequently used files and folders on your desktop is a common practice, but that can lead to clutter and a very unprofessional appearance.

Hiide is a small yet efficient utility that can help you deal with the problem in a time efficient manner: you get to toggle the icons visibility manually or have the items hidden by default when you connect an additional display.

Upon launching the Hiide application, you get to see the associated menulet icon in the status bar together with a welcome message that explains how the app works.

All you have to do is click on the status bar icon, and Hiide will hide all the desktop items and leave behind only the current wallpaper.

To let you know if the Hiide function is on or off, the utility comes with different status bar icon designs that update in real time. Keep in mind that the switch takes a couple of seconds to become apparent, so make sure to be patient.

Via the Hiide contextual menu (you get to activate it with a right click on top of the app’s status bar icon), you get easy access to the few customization options available for the application.

You can choose to have the utility added to the list of apps that will launch by default at login or decide if you want to have the Finder icons restored.

Hiide can automatically toggle the icons visibility whenever you connect or disconnect an external display or a projector. This means your desktop will always look clean during your presentations.

To conclude, Hiide is a great tool to have around if you want to make the most of your desktop and have resources accessible, while also being able to clean up the space with ease during presentations.

The Hiide app enables you to toggle the icons visibility with a mouse click or can deal with the task on its own whenever you connect an external display to your Mac.
