Hide Desktop is a utility app from Parallels that allows you to quickly hide or show your desktop icons and files with a single click or keyboard shortcut. It's particularly useful for Mac users who frequently share their screen during presentations, video calls, or demos, or who simply want a cleaner desktop view without permanently moving or organizing files. The app is lightweight and sits in the menu bar for easy access. It's part of Parallels Toolbox and is commonly used by professionals, educators, and anyone who needs to toggle between a cluttered working desktop and a presentable clean desktop.

Version 7.1.0 is already available and fully compatible with Apple Silicon Macs. Since you currently have version 2.0.2, you should update to the latest version—it will run natively on Apple Silicon without Rosetta 2. Check your installed copy for updates via the app itself or through Parallels Toolbox, or download the latest version directly from Parallels' official source.
