ClickToDesktop

There are situations where complete intimacy is not possible. Either you are at work, or at home, with your family, anything you do on your desktop is out in the open for others to have a look at. No matter the reasons, we all know how essential it is to have a quick way to hide active windows. If one click sounds quick enough for your needs, ClickToDesktop is the right tool for the job.

This little app will instantly hide all active windows, leaving the wallpaper as the only attraction for curious eyes.

If you are working on full screen, this app is not for you. Those who are dealing with dozens of windows all over their screens are going to take out the most of ClickToDesktop. Due to how the app is designed, you'll need a part of your desktop clear of any windows or running applications. Clicking inside the file explorer will not hide anything, full-screen processes acting as barriers.

ClickToDesktop has no interface or a command center of sorts. Once launched, the program quietly runs, and can be terminated from the system tray. A single click on the desktop hides all opened windows, no matter they are documents, applications, browser tabs, or file explorer instances. Clicking again reveals what was hidden, position and size being unaffected.

Hiding everything going on the screen with a swift click is neat, but random clicking happens all the time during the day. A possible con is getting used to having your windows disappearing each time you miss click. Even if this is not a critical issue, it's an annoyance that will take some time to get used to.

ClickToDesktop is a privacy-oriented application for individuals who need to hide all screen processes in an instant. There is nothing to set up or customize, nor an interface to check out. The tool is portable, so you can use it at any time, on any machine.
