How to Increase Productivity on Mac with HazeOver?
- Help yourself focus on one thing at a time. Automagically.
- Spend less time managing windows. Window clutter will no longer bother you.
- Multiple displays? HazeOver will let you know which screen is focused or highlight a window on each monitor.
- Working at night? Reduce brightness of OS X interface without sacrificing legibility or color accuracy of the front window.
- Dark menu bar and Dock mode will look so pleasing!
Heavy multi-tasking kills your concentration. All that 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's 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, an undemanding hint to focus on your workflow. Or a powerful dark background for outright dedication to your current task.
- Desktop is automatically revealed when focused (requires Accessibility)
- Toggle the shade with a keyboard shortcut or adjust intensity with a gesture.
- Dragging stuff between apps? Tap "fn" key and HazeOver will gracefully fade out.
Version 1.9.7
- Updated for macOS Tahoe and Liquid Glass.
- Fixed: quitting unexpectedly when using a third-party menu bar manager.
- Improved screen reader support and keyboard navigation following Voluntary Product Accessibility Template® audit.
