gohide と HiddeX の比較

HiddeX is a tiny, portable freeware tool that hides any window from the desktop and the taskbar with a click or a hotkey. It is a good minimal choice if all you want is to make a window vanish. gohide covers the same ground and adds the parts a minimal hider leaves out: the system-tray icon, per-app hotkeys, restoring windows exactly in place, and keeping a hidden app quiet.

Where HiddeX is the better pick

• You want a single portable file with no installer and no settings to learn.
• You hide a window occasionally, one at a time, and the taskbar button disappearing is all you need.

Where gohide is the better pick

• The tray icon matters. On Windows 11 the notification area is the last place an app keeps showing; gohide hides it too — see tray hiding on Windows 11.
• You hide the same apps every day and want them to come back in one press, exactly where they were.
• You want a hidden game to stop making noise and stop using the GPU (pause any game).
• You want a portable option too: gohide also ships as a portable zip, alongside the installer and the Store build.
