Intent

I need it when

Customize visual focus enhancement to match personal workflow preferences

Pro version unlocks custom dimming intensity (0-100%), 16+ preset colors plus custom colors, adjustable animation speeds (0.1-3.0s), and rounded corner borders, allowing users to tailor the focus experience to their specific needs

Reduce visual distractions while working on multiple windows or monitors

Focusdim dims inactive application backgrounds or adds colored borders to active windows, making it easier to maintain focus on the current task across multi-monitor setups without leaving the keyboard via global hotkeys

Exclude specific applications from focus effects to keep certain tools always visible

Application exclusions feature allows users to designate specific apps (like music players or notification tools) that should remain unaffected by dimming or border effects, maintaining workflow continuity

Try focus enhancement without financial commitment before upgrading

Free version provides both dim and border focus modes with 75% dimming intensity and basic controls, allowing users to evaluate the product before deciding to purchase the Pro upgrade

Maintain privacy while using productivity tools

Focusdim stores all settings locally on the Mac with no cloud dependencies, analytics, tracking, or personal data collection, ensuring focus preferences remain completely private
