Too many windows to manage? Large display? Or getting lost in multiple monitors? HazeOver is for you! ▶ TRIAL version: HazeOver.com
Turn distractions down and focus on your current task. HazeOver automatically highlights the front window by dimming background windows.
• Help yourself focus on one thing at a time. Automagically.
• Spend less time managing windows. The clutter won’t bother you anymore.
No need to minimize, close, or hide windows to keep your workspace neat and tidy.
• Easily see which window has keyboard focus.
No more typing in the wrong window due to low contrast.
• Got a bigger display? Then going full screen might make less sense.
HazeOver helps you avoid feeling overwhelmed by too many windows.
• Multiple monitors? This app shows which screen is focused, or highlights a window on each monitor.
• Power up macOS Dark Mode and reduce background glare.
• 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 — all fighting for your attention. And you only have so much of it.
Don’t 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 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 — whether it’s a soft shade to guide your attention or a bold dark background for total immersion.
• The desktop is automatically revealed when used.
• Toggle shading with a keyboard shortcut or adjust intensity with a gesture.
• Use separate dimming settings for Dark and Light appearance.
• Dragging between apps? Tap the “fn” key, and HazeOver will gracefully fade out.
• Control or schedule HazeOver with the Shortcuts app, Focus Filters, and AppleScript.

Good App but Expensive & free trial was a horrible experience
AplhaMineron
I’ve purchased the application as the feature it provides is useful. It’s expensive, sure, but there seems to be no reliable alternatives…Although, Its free trial is one of the worst tactics I’ve seen. The application ruins it’s own purpose by posting nagging comments in the background. I figure the developer doesn’t have much business experience because it feels like he/she really thinks that it’s funny to nag their customers when they’re using a free version of the app to try it out.The absolute surprise was that as if the nagging wasn’t enough, the developer decided to increase the font of the “Hazeover | Free Trial” tag at the bottom left corner to as big as when it litterally covered up the entire background and the text expanded beyond the screen itself.PROFunctionality & design is goodCONSToo ExpensiveDeveloper thinks it’s appropriate to nag customers and ruin their experienceThe last point makes me wish there was a better alternative available...

Hi. Thank you for the thorough review and sorry for the subpar trial experience. I have recently updated the way the trial version works. Please contact me using Report a Problem menu and let me know if you’ve been using a recent trial version. The trial messages are not supposed to cover the whole screen. And the nagging should only get prominent after actively using the app for about a week.
Almost perfect

Best app, but when we close the app it doesn’t focus automatically to the 2nd recent app which is open on screen.
• Updated for macOS Tahoe and Liquid Glass.
• Fixed: quitting unexpectedly when using a third-party menu bar manager.
