Anti-Boss Key: Hide & Restore Programs Quickly

Free program with quick keyboard shortcuts, hides and restores other programs for a private workspace

What is Anti Boss Key?

Anti Boss Key is a free utility program for Windows that allows users to quickly minimize or hide other programs they have open with a simple keyboard shortcut. It is intended to be used when someone walks behind your computer screen, so you can quickly hide any non-work related windows and restore them just as fast once that person leaves.

The program works by minimizing or hiding any windows the user selects into the system tray when a customizable hotkey is pressed. The windows disappear from view on the desktop and taskbar for as long as needed. Then with another press of the hotkey, all hidden windows are restored in an instant, right back where they left off.

Anti Boss Key is helpful for taking a quick break from work to check news sites, sports scores, stocks, social media, or any other non-work task on a company computer. If the boss walks by, the program makes these windows disappear temporarily with no evidence left open. As soon as they leave and it's safe again, the hidden programs reappear on cue.

The software is free, has no adware or malware, and works on any version of Windows. It's a quick and easy way to avoid getting caught doing non-work activities during work hours. The boss will never know you briefly switched tasks if you use Anti Boss Key!
