Draw a frame around what you're reading, and everything else on your screen fades back. Try every feature free for 7 days. Dimframe helps you read one thing at a time. Draw a frame around a paragraph, a table or a video, and everything else on your screen dims, so your eyes stay where you want them. It lives in your menu bar and stays out of the way: • Draw a frame anywhere, over any app. Click the menu bar icon or press Control-Option-Command-D. • Or use Quick Frame to keep half, a quarter or a third of the screen bright in one click. • Keep working as usual. Clicks and scrolling go straight through the dimming. • Move the frame by dragging its edges, and resize it from the corners. • Choose how dark the dimming is, from a light shade to solid black. • Dim every display, or keep your other monitors bright. • Start Dimframe automatically when you log in, if you like. • Turn on the optional timer to see how long you've spent on what you're reading, right next to your frame or in the menu bar. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Dimframe doesn't need Accessibility or Screen Recording permission, never looks at what's on your screen, and collects no data at all. No account, no analytics, no tracking. MADE FOR FOCUSED READING For students working through papers, researchers, writers editing long drafts, and anyone who loses their place in dense text. Try every feature free for 7 days, then unlock Dimframe for good with a one-time purchase. No subscription.
