About gohide

gohide hides the running applications you choose - their windows, taskbar buttons and even their
system-tray icons - with a single global hotkey, then restores everything exactly where it was.
Most classic window hiders stopped working on the redesigned Windows 11 notification area; gohide
still hides tray icons there. It can also mute an app while hidden, or suspend it entirely so a
hidden game stops using CPU and GPU. Everything is fully reversible, works offline, and needs no
account and no telemetry. Free for up to 3 managed apps; an optional Pro tier is a one-time
perpetual purchase with no subscription.
