Sweep things under the rug – virtually.
DeskMat is your virtual mat that can cover your mess of files and folders on your desktop with the click of a button.
For cleaner streams, video conferences, screen sharing, and distraction-free work!
= Hide your Desktop(s) =
With a single click, cover your Desktop, and then show it again.
If you have multiple screens, you can decide whether to just hide one Desktop, or all.
= Minimal UI =
Place DeskMat's button on your main Desktop, all Desktops, or the menu bar.
Or remove the button altogether and use the keyboard shortcut and auto-triggers exclusively.
= Auto Triggers =
Have DeskMat automatically cover your Desktop when apps you specify are running, or come to the foreground.
Set up DeskMat to work in tandem with your Focus modes!
= Your Wallpaper =
Use your current wallpaper, a solid color, a custom image, or blur the Desktop as-is.
Requirements:
- macOS 13 Ventura or newer
- A messy desktop (not *really* a requirement)

The in-app purchases offered in the app are voluntary tips you can send me to further the development of this and my other apps. They do not unlock any additional content or features - you get all of DeskMat's functionality with your initial one-time purchase of the app.
