Product information
What this product does
PeekFocus makes your screen instantly presentable. When your desktop is cluttered and you need to share your screen, it blurs, dims or overlays custom image so what you are working on stays clear, calm, and ready to show. Three modes: Standard - your normal desktop, Ambience - a calm ambient backdrop, Focus - where only your active window remains visible. Frosted blur, smooth dim, or custom image. Multi-display. Menu bar. No subscription. 7-day free trial. One-time purchase.

Problem Solved
What problem does PeekFocus solve?
It's for knowledge workers, designers, writers, or anyone who needs to concentrate on a single task on their Mac. Today they struggle with visual clutter from multiple open windows and desktop icons that constantly pull their attention away, costing them mental energy and time to refocus. PeekFocus solves this by letting them instantly dim or blur all background windows with one keystroke, keeping only the active app sharp. For example, a writer working on a draft in a text editor can blur out their browser, email, and Slack windows so only the document remains clear, helping them stay in flow.
