Spirited Away

Version: 0.7 || Release Date: 2007-01-01 || License: Freeware

Spirited Away (who's namesake is a well-received anime) is a tiny os x app that hides inactive windows on your os x desktop.

It's a great way for a user to keep focus on their most foreground app.

I use it to fool everyone around me that I am not ADD.

I'm also finding this app doesn't consistently work, but I sure wish it did. I'd even pay for a professional version that includes customizing times for individual applications, and also including the ability to have certain quit instead of hide after a certain period time of non-use. (note: for some reason, it will never hide Preview on my computer.)

<a href="http://osx.iusethis.com/app/hideallapps">HideAllApps</a> is a great Universal alternative.

works well for me; version 0.7 reports itself as version 0.6, however, which makes AppFresh perpetually think that the installed version is out of date

I have exactly the same problem. Spirited away works fine - for a couple of hours, then it just stops responding.

There is a conflict in this app that prevents it from working after a while on my computer. I'm trying to debug what app it is that make it happen.

I've never had any issues at all even with f11 and cmd-tab on an Intel Mac. I'm using the 0.7 Universal version.

Have the issues been resolved, as raised by nicedexter 2006-08-30 et al.?

Great user experience. Things just seem to lighten up once in a while :)
