In one click.

Curtain uses native macOS system preferences (CreateDesktop). When toggled, Finder safely hides desktop icons without moving, deleting, or modifying any of your files. When you reveal your desktop again, every file and folder appears in its exact original place.

No. Curtain is built natively in Swift with 0% CPU consumption and less than 2 MB of RAM usage. It operates only when you toggle it and has zero background overhead.

Yes! Curtain includes a built-in global shortcut recorder in the menu bar popover. The default shortcut is ⌃ + ⌥ + D (Control + Option + D), but you can customize it to any key combination you prefer.

Curtain includes a 5-minute timed trial so you can experience full functionality before purchasing. When the trial finishes, desktop icons are automatically restored. You can unlock the lifetime version anytime directly from the app.

Curtain is a pay-once lifetime license (€9.99). There are no recurring subscriptions. You receive lifetime access on your Mac, including all future updates.

Curtain requires macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or newer, including macOS Sonoma and macOS Sequoia. It runs natively on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3/M4) and Intel Macs.

Upon purchasing, your browser will offer to open and activate Curtain automatically. You will also receive your license key in your email receipt, which you can paste anytime inside the app.
