Spirited Away checks each running application's activity, and if an application isn't active for a certain fixed time, Spirited Away hides the application automatically. It is, in effect, Spirited Away :-)

Totally loving this little app. Brilliant!

It would be great if we can add some applications to the exclude list permanently. By "permanently" I mean that the system will remember the apps that have been added to the list, even after restarting. (I always have to manually add Safari and Finder to the exclude list manually, and this can sometimes be annoying.)

PS: Please let me know if someone knows how to make a permanent exclude list for Spirited Away.

I remember the exclude list being permanent before, but either my memory is bad or the feature doesn't work that way anymore. I'm on Snow Leopard, could have been lost in an OS update since the last version of the app came out in 2009 :(

This is a very neat little app, but I wish the status item could be greyed when SA is deactivated. I would suggest this direct to the developer, but I can find no way to contact them.

I've been running Spirited Away for a year or two, and I don't know what computing would be without it. It does what it does, invisibly, with access right there on your menu bar. Brilliant software.

in v.0.7 under Leopard (10.5.7): the app doesn't show up in the dock nor task bar BUT in the menu bar. It took me some time to notice its icon up there (i have a big screen) and i would suggest the owner to include an introductory message at first launch, with an "open preferences" option.

Yes, 0.7 is not working in Leopard.
0.5 is not UB however I got one from
http://homepage.mac.com/koh/.Public/SpiritedAway/Spirited%20AwayUB.zip

this one with the option of 0.7 , is UB and works under leopard.

0.7 didn't work in leopard - but 0.5 is working just fine! very helpful app for those who need help with concentration but need to multi task as needed.

All you have to do is click on the 'More Information' link on the MacUpdate page for Spirited Away which will take you to the developer's site and you can find the previous versions there.
