Made an alpha implementation using v1 of AHK. I can add a lot of features but right this minimal setup works too. Configure using config.ini file

AHK Boss Key

Made a quick tool to hide apps instantly with a hotkey—perfect for games, social media, or any distracting windows.

How It Works

  1. Edit config.ini with your apps and hotkey.
  2. Run boss-key.exe (or boss-key.ahk with AutoHotkey).
  3. Press the hotkey to toggle visibility.

Config (config.ini)

Hotkey

[hotkey]
bosskey = ^!b
  • ^ = Ctrl, ! = Alt, + = Shift, # = Win
  • Examples: ^!b, #h, F12
  • Full docs: AutoHotkey Hotkeys

Behavior

[behavior]
minimize_on_hide = 1
restore_on_show  = 0
activate_on_show = 0
  • minimize_on_hide = 1: Minimizes before hiding
  • restore_on_show = 1: Restores minimized apps
  • activate_on_show = 1: Brings apps to foreground

Set all to 0 for smooth, flash-free toggle.

Target Apps
