FAQ
Questions, answered
Is gohide a 'boss key'?
Yes — gohide is a modern boss key (panic button): one hotkey instantly hides the windows, taskbar buttons and tray icons you choose, and another restores them exactly where they were. Unlike classic boss-key tools it also hides system-tray icons and keeps working on the latest Windows 11.
What do people use gohide for?
Everyday focus and privacy on your own PC: clear distracting apps while you work, keep personal windows off-screen while screen-sharing or presenting, tidy a cluttered taskbar and notification area, or pause a background app to save CPU. gohide only hides your own windows on your own machine — it doesn't monitor anything, collect data, or run in the background watching you.
Is gohide safe to use?
Yes. gohide only acts on your own windows on your own machine — it has no telemetry, no accounts, and never sends anything off your PC. Everything it does is fully reversible: one keystroke restores every window, taskbar button and tray icon exactly where it was.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. gohide works fully offline. Even license activation happens entirely on your own PC — nothing is contacted at runtime, and there's no account.
Is Pro a subscription?
No. Pro is a one-time, perpetual purchase. You own that version forever and get free updates. There is no recurring charge.
Does tray-icon hiding work on the latest Windows 11?
Yes. gohide hides system-tray icons on the latest Windows 11, where most other window-hiders simply stop working. For a few protected apps it tucks the icon away instead of fully removing it — either way, it's restored the moment you bring things back.
What Windows versions and CPUs are supported?
Windows 10 and Windows 11, on x64, ARM64 and x86 — gohide supports them all automatically.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. gohide Pro comes with a 3-day money-back guarantee — if it's not right for you, email support within 3 days of purchase for a full refund. We also offer a free edition with no time limit, so you can confirm gohide works on your PC before buying Pro.
