Hidefromdock v1

Hidefromdock is quite self-explanatory. It hides the Application icon of an app from the Mac OS X Dock. (as long as the App hasn't been dragged into the dock to always be visible that is).

About - Short version

Hidefromdock edits the info.plist inside every Mac OS app. It makes a change to this info.plist file which prevents the icon being shown in the dock. This is useful if you have an application that you want to run in the background only and don't want to alert the user that something is running.
