Hide My Windows is an powerful application developed to hide one or multiple windows on your screen with the help of predefined hotkeys.

The program offers multiple window hiding modes, all of which can be performed via dedicated shortcuts configurable in the main window.

The GUI is intuitive enough to appeal to rookies too, and that's a very important thing given the fact that there's no built-in help manual. Instead, there's a special online help section, but this obviously requires an Internet connection.

Hide My Windows can hide the active window, all windows or only the ones included in filters because yes, you can create your very own filters concerning only the windows you want.

Obviously, you can show all hidden windows with the press of a key, but also close hidden applications or all running browsers.

The main window of the app is divided into panels in order to display the configured filters, the current hotkeys and the hidden windows.

More configuration options are available via the dedicated settings screen that comprises preferences concerning the password protection and the mouse hiding operation. You can thus protect the app or specific actions with a password or configure the mouse to perform the same window hiding task as the  aforementioned hotkeys.

Hide My Windows indeed requires a bit more than average computer skills, but it works flawlessly on all Windows versions released so far. No special user privileges are required.

As a conclusion, Hide My Windows is undoubtedly a very helpful product that can really lend you a hand when it comes to organizing the workspace on your screen. It doesn't hamper system performance at all and bundles exactly the options you need the most.
