Overview
- PeekDesktop lets you click an empty spot on the wallpaper to hide all windows, then click again to restore every window to its place.
- It is a free download on GitHub that runs as a tiny system-tray app and does not require administrator rights.
- The tool uses standard Windows hooks to detect desktop clicks and to save and restore each window’s size and position across monitors.
- Reviews confirm very low resource use and native support for Arm-based PCs, with coverage also noting rapid updates from v0.1 to v0.6.2 within days.
- Hands-on testing flags limits, including right-clicks on the Recycle Bin bringing windows back, Task Manager refusing to minimize, and desktop context-menu actions reopening apps.
