Hide All Apps Mac

What happens when you hide an app?

When you hide an app, it won't appear in your list of purchases in the App Store. If you use Family Sharing, the app also won't appear in family members' purchases and won't be available for family members to redownload. But the app will still appear in your purchase history.

Cleaning the clutter off of your desktop every so often is a great idea. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that you're actually going to do it. Whatever the reason, you may not have time to get everything organized, but luckily there is a way to temporarily 'clean' your desktop in a hurry. The keyboard shortcut to hide all other inactive windows and apps on the Mac is simple: Command + Option + H Hitting that keystroke combination will instantly hide every other app and window in the background, but keep the foreground windows and app active and available. How can I hide all applications but the current one on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard), and restore them again? Sometimes I want to concentrate on the application I'm working with currently, and make all other windows go away temporarily. I am looking for a functionality similar to 'Aero Shake' on Windows 7.

Hiding an app won't remove it from your device, a family member's device, or other devices that are signed in with your Apple ID. If you want to remove an app from the Home Screen, customize the Home Screen on your iPhone.
