Spirited Away — very handy program for OS X

For the past couple weeks I’ve been using Spirited Away. Spirited Away is a program for OS X that hides applications after they have not been brought to the foreground for a set period of time. I have mine set to 6 minutes. I absolutely love the program. I used to be a compulsive application hider, instinctively hitting command-h quite often. Now I never hit command-h, the programs that I frequently use are always visible, and things I don’t need to see are magically removed from visibility and don’t distract me.

Jon,

This is a cool program, thanks for the tip. Also, do I hear a Cat Power reference in your blog title – if so here is another; “I want to live in a blogosphere”

best,
Jim

It is indeed a cat power reference. I think the song is called “bathysphere” though… :) but now that i think of it, i think i’ve heard it and thought she was saying blogosphere. (i don’t really pay attention to the titles of songs)

Keep’em coming! The mac newbies are watching. I have to say that apps seem to go hidden on me all the time, without spirited away, but I guess I’m not sure what I’m talking about.

Looks like the developer web site went away.
