Fortunately, a new Mac app called Hides restores these features. The app lets you use your Mac in “Single App Mode” as well as quickly hide all of your windows with a single click or keyboard shortcut.

Why Would You Hide Things? Your first thought might be “adult” style apps, but you might want to hide things for more innocent reasons.

Tools like file downloaders, cloud storage apps and program updaters generally gobble a lot of bandwidth and speed down our browsing activity. In the same context, it could be a good idea to manually limit the allocated bandwidth and gain some for general purpose tasks. Here’s how to do it on Dropbox.

Don’t you think that locking these sensitive apps would be better than locking the phone using the password?...

What they will allow you to do is open PDFs, copy text, add text, and highlight and annotate a PDF very easily....
Some iPhone owners use the method of creating a one-song playlist, play the song and then add and arrange more songs to the playlist on the fly. This method works well of course, but it is not “natural”, so what I did is search the App Store for somewhat unknown and less popular apps that do exactly this, and that do it for free. Let’s take a look at the two best free apps I found to queue up your songs while you listen to them....
