A new utility for Windows users borrows a longstanding Mac feature. The tool called PeekDesktop lets users click the desktop background to instantly minimize all open windows. It runs in the background and turns the entire desktop area into a clickable zone. This makes it easier to see files and organize the workspace without manually reducing each window.
Developers released PeekDesktop after noticing growing demand for Mac-like shortcuts in Windows. The utility supports several animation styles and click options. Users can choose how quickly windows minimize and how the desktop reacts to clicks. These settings aim to make window management faster during daily work.
The tool works on Windows 10 and 11 without extra software. It requires no installation beyond a small background process. Performance impact is minimal, according to early testers. Most users report it runs smoothly even with multiple applications open.
PeekDesktop joins other utilities that bring Mac features to Windows. It follows tools like AltTab for window switching and PowerToys for customization. The developer plans to add more customization options in future updates. No release date has been set for those features.
