Small menubar application for quickly accesing system tasks.

  DOWNLOAD Free

DesktopUtility is an application that allows users to quickly access and run some few hidden Mac system actions.

With this tool, you will be able to view invisible files, hide the desktop and force-empty the Trash. DesktopUtility runs unobtrusively in the menu bar and it is completely free.

All application actions are triggered by global hotkeys. Once you finish configuring the application, you can easily hide the desktop, view invisible files and empty Trash by using predefined shortcut keys.

Without this tool, you would have to use Terminal scripts in order to view hidden files on your system. Trash is well known for causing issues when trying to delete items from its contents. By force deleting, you can quickly solve a problem that would again require Terminal scripts. For Windows users who have made the transition to Mac, the ability to minimize all windows in Mac is absent. DesktopUtility, however, quickly fixes all these issues.

In general, the application offers convenient features for all Mac users. Three of its functions are easily accessible by employing hotkeys and free of charge.
