There are many "hide your desktop" apps, but the developer Matthias is exceptionally good at making utilities that feel natural and indispensable. The thing that distinguishes DeskMat for me is the ability to have it work automatically based on Focus Modes. When I’m in my "Meeting" or "Teaching" focus, where my screen is often being shown to others, my desktop is automatically cleared, and restored when it’s over. Kudos once again!

Don’t know if or when I’ll need this app, but if this developer releases an app, I’m buying it! He’s that good and very responsive to questions, feature requests, and just about everything else. His other app, ScreenFloat, is one I can’t live without on my Mac.

Understand that MacOS 26 is still beta version, but DeskMat doesn’t work with MacOS 26, looking forward to the fix though
