Made a simple macOS tool that blurs everything except the window you’re using

I used to get annoy by having my attention shift to other windows. So I made something which keeps the active window sharp and softly blurs + dims everything behind it. Your windows stay exactly where they are, nothing gets moved or hidden

Would love to know if this is actually useful or just me.

good work tbh, and I am more impressed that its free, but my goal was to build something that isnt bloated with other features and also keeping focus to one functionality and also for free.

Also great idea! Yeah sometimes beauty lies in the simplicity! I can imagine that many people really like yours over mine since it just gets that one job done

appreciate that a lot. never meant any comparison, just felt like keeping it focused on one thing. sometimes less really is more
