At first glance, HazeOver is an unglamorous, even slightly unappealing tool, but when you use it, it opens the door to an “immersive work experience.”
HazeOver is a simple window management tool for macOS. When you switch between task Windows, it automatically highlights the active window or application. Less important content is shaded and hidden in the background, allowing you to focus on the current window and improve productivity.
Yes, the function is so simple but extreme.
Create a desk fit for work
Half an hour into the job, and a million Windows open. Having to repeatedly hide Windows, switch between them, and lurk behind emails, chat messages, and people who seem to be doing everything in their power to get your attention can be annoying.
Calm down, take a deep breath, start HazeOver, and finally get back to work with focus.
HazeOver will automatically highlight active Windows or applications as you switch between Windows, and other less important content will be shaded and seemingly hidden, allowing you to immerse yourself in your current window task.
Of course, the blur and darken of the Mac’s background in both light mode and dark mode are taken into account and work just fine.
The blur intensity can be set to your liking, the shadow concentration can be adjusted (deeper or shallower) in the Settings by gesture, and a deeper background will help you focus on the task at hand.
Blur speed can also be adjusted, the brightness can be selected to gradually dim, slowly immersed in the current window task;
Improve Mac productivity
Such a small tool of silent work, in the subtle, let you focus on the work without distractions.
HazeOver also helps you reduce the time you spend organizing your Windows so you don’t get distracted by cluttered Windows.
When using multiple monitors, HazeOver can indicate which screens are activated and highlight Windows on each monitor;
At night, HazeOver also reduces the brightness of the macOS interface while keeping the front window text legible and color accurate.
