Where Taskbar Hide is the better pick
- You mainly want a taskbar tidy-up tool — reorder buttons, minimize things to the tray, auto-maximize new windows — and hiding is a side feature.
- You want it free with no tiers at all.
Where gohide is the better pick
- You want a boss key: one press hides a whole set of apps — window, taskbar button and tray icon — and one press restores them in place. See the boss key guide.
- You are on Windows 11 and need tray icons of other apps hidden reliably on current builds (how it works).
- You share your screen and want only the private windows gone (hide apps while screen sharing).
- You want the hidden app to be silent and idle while it is away.
