How to Increase Productivity on Mac with HazeOver
- Help yourself focus on one thing at a time. Automagically.
- Easily see which window has keyboard focus.
No more typing in the wrong window due to low contrast. - Spend less time managing windows. The clutter won’t bother you anymore.
No need to minimize, close, or hide windows to keep your workspace neat and tidy. - Got a bigger display? Then going full screen might make less sense.
HazeOver helps you avoid feeling overwhelmed by too many windows. - Multiple monitors? This app shows which screen is focused, or highlights a window on each monitor.
- Power up macOS Dark Mode and reduce background glare.
- Working at night? Lower interface brightness without sacrificing the legibility or color accuracy of the front window.
Heavy multitasking kills your concentration. Web pages, emails, chat messages, and lolcats 😼 stare at you from the background — all fighting for your attention. And you only have so much of it.
Don’t drown in scores of open windows. Hiding, switching, looking for the right one, more hiding, more switching. Calm down, breathe in, breathe out, launch HazeOver — and finally concentrate on what matters.
HazeOver automatically highlights the active window or app as you switch. Less important things gently fade into the background, helping you stay focused and productive.
Customize haze intensity and animation speed to your preference — whether it’s a soft dimming to guide your attention or a bold dark background for total immersion.
- The desktop is automatically revealed when used.
- Toggle shading with a keyboard shortcut or adjust intensity with a gesture.
- Use separate dimming settings for Dark and Light Mode.
- Dragging between apps? Tap the “fn” key, and HazeOver will gracefully fade out.
- Control or schedule HazeOver with the Shortcuts app, Focus Filters, and AppleScript.

A permanent addition to my desktop
This program has redefined what I view as “comfortable” on my desktop, and it has become a permanent resident on my status bar. I rarely disable it, but love the fact that I can quickly and easily do so using the taskbar icon. It does exactly what it says. Five stars.
