Description
Keep your desktop clutter free with Hocus Focus, a Mac menu bar utility that hides your inactive windows.
Hocus Focus automatically hides application windows that have been inactive for a certain period of time, leaving only the applications you're using visible. It's a great way to keep your screens clutter free and your mind focused on the task at hand.
Review
Hocus Focus for Mac is a handy little app to help you avoid distractions and stay focused on the task at hand by hiding all but the windows you need.
Pros
Easy access: When this app is running, you can access it quickly from the menu bar at the top of your screen to quickly see a list of visible and hidden apps, as well as make adjustments to the software's settings. You can also use a hotkey to cycle through different profiles that cause the app to behave one way or another depending on what you're doing at that moment.
Customization options: This app lets you set a timeout interval for each program independently. You can also disable hiding if you like, and you can adjust which programs are hidden when focus is lost.
Cons
No instructions: This app comes with no instructions or Help file of any kind. While its function is straightforward enough, it would help to have some sort of reference to make sure you're getting the most possible from the software.
Bottom Line
Hocus Focus provides a handy bit of functionality to help you stay on task, no matter what you're working on. With convenient access and a nice set of customization options, this software gives you just what you need and nothing more. While it would be nice to have some sort of basic overview available as a reference, most users will have no trouble finding their way around this useful little app.
