This little utility is easy to set up, has just the right number of options, and simply makes the Mac more usable. No more Option-Command-H (Hide Others) every two minutes!

Simply brilliant. I run this with menu eclipse or simply configure the mac menu to hide using presentyourapps and you've got a distraction free work space. You can turn any program into a distraction free program with Isolator. I've tried the others but this is the best out there.

@ DrLeonP: At the bottom of the isolator web page is this:

Contact & Donations

Bug reports, suggestions, etc to bdeb at willmore dot eu.

This is in large type. Perhaps you were expecting an email address that was formatted more to your liking rather than the "anti-email collecting spiders" defensive formatting that the developer used?

I haven't yet tried this but I certainly intend to tonight. It sounds like a great little utility.
