    Push distractions aside, silence disruptions and enter a zen like state of focus with Quiet for Mac OS X. With the push of a button, silence noisy applications and fade out all unwanted windows. It gives you that moment of peace you need to get on with work.

    Keep your workflow flowing and clean your workspace by hiding inactive apps after a period of time. Set a custom time for each application and Vanish will hide the application if it hasn't been activated for that period of time.

    Vanish is a really useful app that keeps the workspace clean that hides and also closes inactive apps after a custom set period of time.

    Stay Focused is a small app which lives in your menu bar. Its role is to help you to stay concentrate on one task without any distractions. The focus mask will always follow on every workspace.

    Dissolv takes care of clearing away window clutter in the background as you work. By hiding or closing the applications you're not using, it helps keep you distraction free and focused on the stuff that matters.
