Description
Fokus is a Safari extension that emphasizes anything you select on the web by covering the rest of the page with a semi-transparent black overlay.
This allows you to focus on what you are reading or to emphasize part of a web page during a presentation.
Fokus has options to:
- Adjust the overlay opacity
- Specify a modifier key such as Shift, Control, Option, or Command which must be held down to active the overlay
- Adjust the padding around selection
- Make the highlight color transparent or set it to one of several colors
What’s New
Version 1.8
- Add more highlight color options
- Automatically adjust font size and theme on options page based on system appearance setting
Ratings and Reviews
Doesn't install. Doesn't work.
An app installed in the Apps folder. All this app does is open a window that says, "You can turn on Fokus's extension in Safari Extensions preferences." Thre is also a button that says, "Quit and Open Safari Extension Preferences ..." But the button doesn't do anything and there is no extension in Safari extension preferences.
I am using Big Sur 11.6.1. I have the free version of Avast Security installed. The only Safari extension installed is 1Blocker.
Developer Response ,
Sorry it didn't work for you. After researching this further it seems to be a long standing Safari bug. There are people online reporting this bug from multiple years ago. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/112057
I assumed it was only a bug in macOS 12.0.1 because it was working for me in both macOS 11.6.1 and 12.1 beta but it seems to be an intermittent bug that can happen in many versions of macOS and Safari.
Unfortunately I didn't find any easy workarounds. This forum post suggests resetting your launch services database. I haven't tried that and don't really recommend that you do so but feel free to try these suggestions if you would like to. https://community.bitwarden.com/t/solved-missing-bitwarden-extension-in-safari/30062/32
