Pixel Zen
01
Save the workspace
Pixel Zen captures the visible apps you are using and stores them as a named workspace.
Menu bar workspace control for Mac
From chaos to clean screen in one click.
Hide your current workspace instantly, save the setups worth keeping, and bring them back from the menu bar when you are ready.
Requires macOS 13 Ventura or later.
import { useState } from 'react';
export function App() {
const [state, setState] = useState(0);
return <div>Hello World</div>;
}
Pixel Zen
Pro
Ready
Press ⌥ ⌘ H to hide
02
Hide the noise
One menu bar click clears the apps from view without quitting them or risking unsaved work.
03
Restore later
Return to the saved setup from the menu bar, the quick switcher, or your configured shortcut.
Built for real Mac habits
A clean screen without closing your work.
Pixel Zen is designed for screen sharing, context switching, and end-of-day cleanup. Keep your workspaces intact while your desktop stays calm.
Menu bar first
Left click hides temporarily by default. Right click keeps the explicit save and restore commands close.
Named workspaces
Save repeatable setups for design reviews, planning, research, or meetings.
Careful defaults
Hide is the default action. Closing apps stays behind an explicit advanced setting.
Mac native
Automatic launch, Settings, shortcuts, permissions, and updates follow macOS conventions.
Simple pricing

FAQ
Questions before you install.
Does Pixel Zen quit apps?
No. Hiding is the default because it is safer for unsaved work. You can enable a close-apps option deliberately in advanced settings.
Why does Pixel Zen need Screen Recording?
Pixel Zen uses Screen Recording only to create the saved workspace preview image.
How does Pro unlock work?
Pro is distributed as its own unlocked DMG. There is no login, signup, or in-app purchase flow.
Where is workspace data stored?
Free and Pro builds both run locally on the Mac.
