# Single application mode

Single application mode lets you focus on the application you are using by automatically hiding all the inactive applications.

## Here are ways to turn single application mode on and off:

- Open the Application Wizard pane in System Preferences, click General, and select or deselect the ”Turn single application mode on” checkbox.

- Add the Turn Single Application Mode On/Off command to the Switch menu and use it to turn single application mode on and off.

  Customize the Switch menu

- Use the ”Turn single application mode on/off” keyboard shortcut.

  Use keyboard shortcuts to quickly perform tasks

By default, Application Wizard automatically shows all open applications when you turn single application mode off. If you prefer to keep inactive applications hidden, choose ”Keep others hidden” from the ”When turning single application mode off” pop-up menu in the General pane of the Application Wizard preferences.

Application Wizard lets you keep specific applications always visible in single application mode and allows you to temporarily show multiple applications (e.g. Mail and Safari) so that you can use them together.

## To keep an application always visible in single application mode:

1. Open the Application Wizard pane in System Preferences and click Applications.

2. Click the Add (+) button at the bottom of the list, browse and select the application, and click Add.

3. Select the ”Do not hide in single application mode” option.

## To temporarily show two or more applications:

- Display the Switch menu and link the applications you want to use together by highlighting each of them and pressing the Command key.

  Application Wizard marks linked applications with a green dot and shows or hides them together as you switch between applications.

- Once you are done and want to return to regular single application mode, highlight the marked applications in the Switch menu and press the Command key again.

  Linked applications are automatically cleared when you turn single application mode off.
