For some reasons, I’m using desktop as temporary storage of files - downloaded from internet, in-progress documents, screenshots and code snippets. Time after time I create screencasts and I need to have clean desktop. First, I tried to find available solution and have found Desktop Curtain. I don’t need all this fanciness (different desktop wallpapers, customization) so $2.99 is overkill for me and for this taks. So, I decide to create my own solution with help of shell and Alfred. Googled for Mac OS X command and I created simple script what I wrapped after as Alfred Extension. You can download Alfred Extension for my Dropbox. To use it you need to have Alfred PowerPack purchased. Cheers
