MacBook app hiding

App hide for MacBook, without deleting your apps.

If you search for app hide MacBook, you probably do not mean closing a window or removing one icon from the Dock. You want personal apps to stay out of sight when your MacBook is on a call, at a shared desk, or in someone else's hands.

The Dock is only part of the leak

Removing an app from the Dock does not stop it from appearing elsewhere on your MacBook.

Search can reveal app names

Spotlight is useful, but it can surface personal apps at exactly the wrong moment.

Deleting apps is not a workflow

PrivyDock is designed for reversible app hiding, so you can bring everything back when you want.

A MacBook becomes public faster than people expect.

Screen sharing, quick demos, coworking, travel, and lending a laptop all expose the places macOS lists apps. PrivyDock is built around those everyday visibility surfaces: Dock, Launchpad, Spotlight, and restore.
