Paperman adds a subtle paper texture to your screen.
Softening contrast, scattering harsh highlights, and making your display feel more like a surface rather than a light source. It doesn't shift your colors. It just changes how your screen feels to look at.
Five paper textures.
Pick the one that suits you.
Each with its own feel:
- Classic Matte: a clean, even matte finish.
- Whisper Weave: an ultra-fine weave for long reading sessions.
- Sunbaked Parchment: warm, aged paper with a soft grain.
- Saddle Linen: a natural woven linen with earthy warmth.
- Painter's Press: a textured cold-press surface with subtle tooth and depth.
Made to fit your day
- Pin up to 4 favorite textures to the control center and switch between them in a tap.
- Set one texture for daytime and another for nighttime, and let Paperman switch automatically.
- Fine-tune intensity per texture - your light and dark settings are remembered separately.
Quiet by design
- Turn Paperman off in specific apps, or have it run only where you want it.
- Pause it on battery, snooze it, or stop it anytime.
- Optional keyboard shortcuts.

The matte screen you need

I have been wanting a matte screen for my Mac for a while now. This app gives me the best possible solution. You can choose from a variety of textures and toggle it on and off as you choose. My screen looks cozy and reduces eye strain significantly, especially at night. One of my best purchases. Happy to pay for this. Works perfectly on Chrome as well!
Excellent App

Really great app for making pretty plain MacBook screen into paper like texture. Sunbaked Parchment is my favorite texture. It’s night mode on steroids honestly. Also the customer support is phenomenal. Never seen anything like that from a billion dollar tech company so that’s a plus too Highly Recommend!

How do I enable textures on chrome full screen? It only shows on Mac desktop.
Developer Response
Currently, you can't enable textures over full-screen apps. Because of strict macOS limitations regarding how the Mac App Store handles full-screen spaces, the effect is prevented from displaying over full-screen windows.The good news: we found a fix! We are planning to release a version of Paperman outside the App Store very soon that completely bypasses this limitation.Please reach out to us at help@doubl.one so we can get you set up with access to this version!
