HazeOver

Get rid of distractions and focus on your current task. HazeOver automatically highlights the front app window by dimming all background windows.

• Spend less time managing windows. The clutter will no longer bother you.

No need to minimize, close, or hide windows for your workspace to be neat.

• Easily see which window has keyboard focus.

No more typing in the wrong window because the contrast is low.

• Got a bigger display? Then going full screen is not an option for you.

HazeOver prevents getting overwhelmed with too many windows.

• Multiple monitors? This app will let you know which screen is focused or highlight a window on each monitor.
• Power up macOS Dark Mode and reduce background glare.
• Working at night? Reduce interface brightness without sacrificing the legibility or color accuracy of the front window.

Heavy multi-tasking kills your concentration. All those tweets, emails, chat messages, and lolcats staring back at you from the background. They strive for your attention. And you only have that much of it.

Don’t let yourself drown in scores of open windows. Hiding, switching, looking for the right one, more hiding, more switching. Calm down, breathe in, breathe out, launch HazeOver, and finally concentrate on what you’ve been up to.

HazeOver automatically highlights an active window or app when you switch windows. The less important things gently fade away in the background, helping increase your productivity.

Set the hazing intensity and speed to your liking. Be it a soft dimming, or an undemanding hint to focus on your workflow. Or a powerful dark background for outright dedication to your current task.

• The desktop is automatically revealed when used.
• Toggle the shade with a keyboard shortcut or adjust the intensity with a gesture.
• Keep separate dimming settings for Dark and Light mode.
• Dragging stuff between apps? Tap the “fn” key and HazeOver will gracefully fade out.
• Control HazeOver settings with the Shortcuts app, Focus Filters, or AppleScript.
