Too many windows to manage? Large display? Or getting lost in multiple monitors? HazeOver is for you!
Turn distractions down and focus on your current task. HazeOver automatically highlights the front window by dimming background windows.
โข Help yourself focus on one thing at a time. Automagically. โข Spend less time managing windows. The clutter wonโt bother you anymore. No need to minimize, close, or hide windows to keep your workspace neat and tidy. โข Easily see which window has keyboard focus. No more typing in the wrong window due to low contrast. โข Got a bigger display? Then going full screen might make less sense. HazeOver helps you avoid feeling overwhelmed by too many windows. โข Multiple monitors? This app shows which screen is focused, or highlights a window on each monitor. โข Power up macOS Dark Mode and reduce background glare. โข Working at night? Lower interface brightness without sacrificing the legibility or color accuracy of the front window.
Heavy multitasking kills your concentration. Web pages, emails, chat messages, and lolcats stare at you from the background โ all fighting for your attention.
Hiding, switching, looking for the right one, more hiding, more switching. Calm down, launch HazeOver and finally concentrate on what matters.
HazeOver automatically highlights the active window or app as you switch. Less important things gently fade into the background, helping you stay focused and productive.
Customize dimming intensity and animation speed to your preference โ whether itโs a soft shade to guide your attention or a bold dark background for total immersion.
โข The desktop is automatically revealed when used. โข Toggle shading with a keyboard shortcut or adjust intensity with a gesture. โข Use separate dimming settings for Dark and Light appearance. โข Dragging between apps? Tap the โfnโ key, and HazeOver will gracefully fade out. โข Control or schedule HazeOver with the Shortcuts app, Focus Filters, and AppleScript.

In a similar vein, but different concept - https://hazeover.com/ - dimming inactive windows. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
Instead of adding a border to the active window, I use an app that fades out the background windows: https://hazeover.com. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
I run a tool that I like much better both in terms of not being distracting on-screen and reducing the light blasting my eyes: https://hazeover.com I'm not affiliated, but I love it and recommended it to friends. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
A similar app I really like is HazeOver, which is a configurable dimmer for everything on the screen except the front window. https://hazeover.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago
> Edit: also if Apple cares so much about this, why do they make the close/minimize buttons so tiny? My guess would be that daily users graduate to โW and โM fairly quickly, while power users graduate to the window manager they prefer. > โฆI'm still slower at this specific thing on Mac OS because I always first have to make sure the right window is focusedโฆ You might find this useful:... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
