Ive just released v5.8 in my store with some contextual menus to enable/disable multiple apps at once:

The App Store version is waiting for review by Apple, but should be available later today

@SweetP Hi Russell, basically it would be really great if both - the MacOs notifications and the desktop icons - could be managed via Hides. The major benefit would be that only one app would be needed and it would in line with the underlying idea of focusing. What do you think? 😉 Best from Berlin, Sebastian

@sweetp Thanks. That should be on your new feature list. I used that all the time in an old app I was using. I was allowed to turn off a focus for two applications so I could see them together when I they were working together.

@sweetp Okay, I had a trial version before I purchased the app. I deleted all related Hides files and the app. Then I was able to download. Whew. 😉

@outtacontext not 100%...
I don't have photoshop to test with

You can select just the apps you do what Hides enabled for in Preferences and do NOT check Finder.

ah weird,

I get this all the time with various apps im developing... its so annoying. Its because you have multiple copies of Hides on your computer.
you should be able to remove the file by opening:
*/Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app*
type in this:

then drag in the troublesome Hides.app file from the finder window
hit Enter

*be careful with this command, you can do some serious damage to your computer!!!
