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 a wrong window because the contrast is low. - Spend less time managing windows. The clutter will no longer bother you.
No need to minimize, close or hide windows for your workspace to be neat. - Got a bigger display? Then going full screen is not an option for you.
HazeOver prevents getting overwhelmed with too many windows. - Multiple monitors? This app will let you know which screen is focused or highlight a window on each monitor.
- Power up macOS Dark Mode and reduce background glare.
- Working at night? Reduce interface brightness without sacrificing legibility or color accuracy of the front window.
Heavy multi-tasking kills your concentration. All those tweets, emails, chat messages and lolcats 😼 staring back at you from the background. They strive for your attention. And you only have that much of it.
Don’t let yourself 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 you’ve been up to.
HazeOver automatically highlights an active window or app when you switch windows. The less important things gently fade away in the background, helping increase your productivity.
Set the hazing intensity and speed to your liking. Be it a soft dimming, an undemanding hint to focus on your workflow. Or a powerful dark background for outright dedication to your current task.
- Desktop is automatically revealed when used.
- Toggle the shade with a keyboard shortcut or adjust intensity with a gesture.
- Keep separate dimming settings for Dark and Light mode.
- Dragging stuff between apps? Tap “fn” key and HazeOver will gracefully fade out.
- Control or schedule HazeOver settings with Shortcuts app, Focus Filters and AppleScript.

Simpel maar zo doeltreffend!!
Als je van rust op je scherm houdt dan is deze app ideaal. Hij dimt alle programmavensters die niet actief zijn zodat alleen het scherm waar je mee bezig bent duidelijk zichtbaar is. De mate van dimmen is instelbaar. Standaard staat ie op 35% en dat is prima. Een handige app dus!!
Handig
Vindt het zeer rustgevend,werkt erg prettig!
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.
Better is use than theory
You don’t know how nice this is until you use it. It really does make concentrating on the given window easier; and yes, you always know what window you’re on. Glad I got this, highly recommend it.
