Kernelpanic GhostTile

GhostTile lets macOS users keep their Dock uncluttered by hiding the icons of running applications. It offers several methods to conceal apps: dragging them onto GhostTile, selecting them from the Applications folder, or clicking an icon in the Dock. Users can configure each application individually, adding a menu‑bar item, assigning a keyboard shortcut for quick launch, and receiving notifications when hidden apps become active.

The utility provides fast ways to reveal hidden apps when needed. A menubar button opens an Expose‑style overview, and a quick‑switch window can be invoked via a keyboard shortcut or an Alfred v2 workflow. It works with sandboxed applications without modifying files on disk, and it supports per‑app keyboard shortcuts for rapid access.

GhostTile is a stable, macOS‑only tool written in Swift. It does not work with system apps on versions protected by System Integrity Protection unless SIP is disabled, and it may have compatibility quirks with legacy garbage‑collected apps and certain Alfred toggles. Startup timing issues can require re‑adding some apps after login.
