This utility lets me take a quick peek at whatever is going on in a shared session to another computer and hide it away without changing my focus from the terminal. Surely, I can't be the only one frustrated with the inconsistent use of ⌘-H in certain apps. (Looking at you Photoshop and Screen Sharing!)
I also think this is particularly nice way of combining command-line development with osascript. I love how the toggle function turned out.
