What is DeskMat?

DeskMat helps you:

  • retain your privacy when sharing your screen
  • have cleaner streams
  • work distraction-free

by providing a simple cover for your Desktop.
With the click of a button, all your files and folders (or selected ones) on your Desktop disappear, and re-appear just as easily when you need them.
Tie the app to your Focus modes or specific apps coming to the foreground, so the cover activates and deactivates automatically.
Create workflows with Shortcuts and AppleScript.
With widgets in your Control Center, your Desktop and Notification Center, you can toggle the cover from anywhere.

Tip: Check out the Get to Know DeskMat Blog Post for a deep-dive into its functionality.

  • A “normal” widget for your Desktop or Notification Center to toggle DeskMat (in addition to the Control Center widget)
