My name is Erik Mallinson. I draw pictures, make music, and some other stuff. I like playing the ‘ukulele, riding my scooter around Boston, and playing board games.
Follow me on Twitter (@erima) if you’re into that sort of thing. You might also check out my illustration and music studio (@gravel).

SpiritedAway cuts down open window clutter.

Awesome desktop wallpaper located here.

I love Spirited Away too.

While it’s easy to keep clean and minimalist at start-up, my mid-workday desktop is generally a massive dogpile of apps and windows. I try to hide or quit apps I’m not using at the moment, but often forget. Enter SpiritedAway. SpiritedAway checks each running application’s activity, and if an application isn’t active for a certain fixed time (set by you), Spirited Away hides the application automatically.

And here’s a vital tip: the official sites are all distributing v0.7, but you need v0.6 for it to run reliably on Leopard, so until v0.8 comes out with a fix, here’s a direct link to it: SpiritedAway v0.6 .zip (any earlier versions aren’t universal binary.)

I know SpiritedAway has a lot of fans out there. Apps like these always make me feel like we live in the future where little clean up droids come out whenever they detect a spill.
