A sleek, modern take on window dimming for macOS
Monocle is a modern take on window dimming that elegantly blurs everything except your active window by simply shaking your cursor. It isn't just about productivity — it's about presence. Feeling calm while you work, write, browse, or think. Designed to feel like it came with your Mac.
Monocle's shake-to-activate gesture and cursor reveal effect provide instant, reversible focus without workflow disruption. Users can toggle between full-screen focus and normal view instantly while keeping all background apps and tabs intact.
By softening visual noise and keeping only the current task visible, Monocle helps users feel calmer and more present while working, addressing the emotional and mental aspects of focus rather than just productivity metrics.
Monocle dims all windows except the active one with a simple cursor wiggle gesture, creating a calm, focused workspace without closing or changing anything. This lets users work, write, or think without the cognitive load of visible background clutter.
Monocle is designed to feel like it came with macOS, offering Stage Manager compatibility and app groups support. It requires no configuration and works quietly in the background, making it an unobtrusive addition to the Mac experience.
