DesktopUtility6.1.4

Hide the desktop, reveal normally invisible files, show the User Library, empty the Trash by force, or restart the Finder, Dock, and menu bar from one place. DesktopUtility brings these frequently used system actions together so users can reach them without hunting through Finder settings or separate macOS controls.

It is suited to Mac users who manage files, adjust what is visible on the desktop, or need to refresh core interface processes during everyday maintenance. A person working with hidden configuration files can expose them temporarily, while someone clearing removable media or recovering from an unresponsive interface can access the relevant cleanup and restart commands quickly. Its emphasis is on direct actions rather than background monitoring or an elaborate management dashboard.

Version 6.1.4 is freeware in the System Tools category and runs on Intel and Apple Silicon Macs. The current requirement is macOS 26 Tahoe or later, while the developer’s compatibility note also refers to macOS 14 or newer and recommends Golden Gate. No companion software, account, subscription, or special hardware is identified for using the application.
