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 note on in-app purchases in the Mac App Store version: These are completely voluntary tips you can give me to support me and the development of my apps beyond the one-time purchase price. No additional functionality can be unlocked by giving tips. Your one-time purchase gives you to the complete functionality of DeskMat.
I hope you enjoy DeskMat (and my other apps) : )
