I've made my fist Mac App on xCode.

It's very basic but kinda cool :o

You can download it here for free if you want to make me happy :D

Download here (http://ihidemacapp.tk/)

There is nothing there :(

I see why though... your HTML is broken

<html>
<head>
<title> iHide | Free mac app download | Hide all applications
</head>


Should be:


<html>
<head>
<title> iHide | Free mac app download | Hide all applications </title>
</head>



Also your tags are wrong below too.

Instead of being <h2><center> jkfjsljfksjflsdlfjslfjl

It should be <h2 align="center"> or use a <DIV> to align

Otherwise you're going to have wierd stuff happening :D

Let's hope your app is better than your HTML.

What does your app offer that Expose or CMD-TAB doesn't?

It HIDES ALL windows, they're gone until you unhide them. Have a look, you can always drag it t trash ;)

Mmm, I made a promise to myself that when I re-installed my OS in the early new year that I wouldn't install senseless apps...I can just use Expose or Spaces instead I think...but well done on writing the app!!!

I don't understand what you're saying :o

My app has nothing to do with CMD + Tab, or Expose'? :o

But if I want to hide all app windows and go to desktop I just use Expose...what does your app do that is different?

That doesn't HIDE the apps? That just gets them off the screen. It's hard to explain.

Never mind.

What if I hide the app, how do I get it back? How do I see what apps i've hidden? Why would I want to hide an app? Minimise it maybe but hide it? Convince me I need this app in my life!

Simply press the "Seek" Button ;)

And you need it in your life cause it's the first app i've ever made and you'd make me happy of you download it ;)

I personally think its very useful! Have to admit I've never bothered setting up spaces or anything on my imac but always store junk (which I keep meaning to tidy up) on my desktop and always have so many programs running. I used to have to move them all around to get to the file!!

Thanks for this!!

Ok I downloaded it...and was confused.

I had 4 apps open, Firefox, iTunes. Mail and Photoshop. I clicked on hide and they all disappeared...I clicked on Seek and they all came back.

Is that what it does? I can't switch between them?

Think i'll stick to Expose :)
