Desktop Ghost Pro for Mac (2.0) Instantly Hide Your Desktop, Integrates with Apple Shortcuts, Complete App Redesign

[App Tyrant]

I’m excited to share Desktop Ghost Pro 2.0 - the Mac utility that gives you a perfectly clean desktop instantly. Version 2.0 is a complete redesign built for modern macOS. With Desktop Ghost Pro you can hide your desktop in a single click or by using a keyboard shortcut (as always) but version 2.0 takes it to the next level with support for Apple's Shortcuts. It's now easier than ever to build automated, distraction-free workflows.

Top Features​

-Instantly hide and show all the files on your desktop.
-Run as a menu bar or a dock app.
-Hide and show your desktop files directly from Finder via our integrated Finder extension.
-Exclude specific files or folders from being hidden.
-Access your files even when they are hidden via the “View Desktop Files” window.
-Now with full support for Siri and the Shortcuts app via custom intents—automate clean-up, build Focus automations, and more!

If anyone has any questions, feature requests etc, let me know!

Happy Friday! Desktop Ghost Pro version 2.1 update is out!

What's New:
In addition to files and folders, Desktop Ghost Pro can now hide mounted volumes (external disks, hard disks, connected servers, and/or removable media) from appearing on the desktop! For this feature to work you must grant Desktop Ghost Pro permission to send Apple events when prompted.

How's it going? Another Friday update for Desktop Ghost Pro. Version 2.2 is here (Mac App Store users will get it soon, after it goes through App Review )

New in this version:

-You can now exclude files from being hidden directly on your desktop. To use this new feature, simply select the files you don’t want to hide, right-click, and choose the “Add to Exclusion List” menu item. To remove a file from the exclusion list, the process is exactly the same. All you need to do is select the file, right-click, and choose the “Remove from Exclusion List” menu item.

-Previously you needed to open Desktop Ghost Pro’s settings window to modify your exclusion list but now excluding files is easier than ever. To see a demo of how to use this requested feature, watch the brief video below:

I'd like to point out that apps that compete with Desktop Ghost Pro can't do this because they hide your desktop by overlaying an image on top of it. Desktop Ghost Pro doesn't do that. We actually hide your files, individually. In our opinion Desktop Ghost Pro's approach to file hiding is superior, as it gives you more power and flexibility. When others place an image over your desktop window you can't interact with your desktop at all (right click, drag and drop, etc. doesn't work because the image overlaying your desktop is blocking it).

Also new in Desktop Ghost Pro:

-You can now hide and show icons on the desktop by right-clicking on the Desktop directory in Finder’s Favorites sidebar.


-Desktop Ghost Pro is now localized in Japanese.
