Really, cannot see the top or bottom inch-or-so of the display, and it slides behind the dock, so nothing on the dock. Too bad, that’s kind of what I got it for.

Of course you have to give it access to record your screen but I'm fine with that. Thats just how it works. This app actually shows you your screen in real time rather than a snapshot until you move the maginifer to a different area. Bought it to see status bars and % gauges from a distance and it does exactly that. Thank you for a great utility!

Developer Response

Unlike other pixelated magnifier apps I tried, Desktop Lens has a smoothing feature that makes the tiny text on my screen truly readable! Thank you for making this app.

Developer Response
Thank you so much! Really glad the smoothing makes small text readable for you — that’s exactly what we aimed for.
