Desktop Curtain
Hide your shameDesktop Curtain is a simple tool to hide the clutter on your desktop. It's perfect for teachers, presenters, writers, developers, and anyone else that hates clutter and/or needs to take screenshots with a clean background.
We offer two versions of Desktop Curtain: the completely free Desktop Curtain Classic here on our web site, and the newly spiffed-up Desktop Curtain that's only available on the App Store and comes with a nearly-negligible $1.99 sticker price.
