Mac
Press one key and everything except your work fades away. Calm, beautiful visual focus for your Mac. One-time purchase, no subscriptions, no accounts, no telemetry.
Saqqara dims everything on your Mac except the window you're working in.
Press one hotkey and a soft, translucent darkening settles over every other window, your desktop, the noise. Just your work, in clear focus. Press it again or simply click outside and the world returns. The dimming follows you as you move, resize, and switch windows.
Apple's Focus modes silence your notifications. Saqqara handles what they can't: the visual distraction of everything else on your screen.
SCENES
Four built-in depths of quiet, Standard, Deep, Reading, and Night or design your own with material, tint, blur, and intensity. Warm amber for evening writing. Cool and deep for heads-down code. Each Scene can have its own shortcut.
QUIET SESSIONS
Focus for 25, 45, or 90 minutes or any length you like. A whisper-thin progress line at the edge of your screen shows how far you've come. No countdown clock. No tick-tock anxiety. Just a gentle note when you're done, and optional local-only statistics if you want to see your patterns.
SMART, NOT STRICT
• Shift-click another window to take a quick peek without breaking Focus.
• A brief Cmd-Tab under your threshold never touches the session timer.
• Spotlight and notifications float above the dim, as they should.
AT HOME ON YOUR MAC
• Works with macOS Focus modes turn on Work Focus and Saqqara follows.
• Shortcuts and App Intents for full automation.
• Multi-display support with per-display behavior.
• Your Scenes and settings sync privately through iCloud.
• Full VoiceOver, Reduce Motion, and Reduce Transparency support.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts. No telemetry. Nothing about you or your work ever leaves your Mac. Session statistics are optional and stored only on your device. Saqqara reads window positions never window contents.
