I like working with different languages. I speak English, Russian and Spanish, a bit of Japanese and can understand some German. Localizing an app is challenging but rewarding. That’s why HazeOver has supported multiple languages from the get go.

Over the years HazeOver has been localized into 33 languages with help from professional translators and regular users. But as changes are made and features are added, some text became out of date. Now the localization should be complete, including updates to the home and help pages in 24 languages.

Please let me know if you find mistakes or typos.

Set up a Focus Filter to toggle HazeOver dimming or set its intensity and color automatically depending on which Focus mode you have activated. For example, you could have dimming turned on when switching to a Work focus or get it set to a particular color when studying.

Dimming settings can be set to change automatically when using Auto Appearance on macOS Catalina (System Preferences > General). For example, enable dimming when turning on Dark mode. Or have different dimming intensity and color when in Light mode.

Such settings will be saved and applied independently for Dark and Light appearance. See HazeOver Preferences > Advanced > Dark Mode Settings.

In this story Apple suggests HazeOver for “a professional look when making screen captures and recordings”.

Run commands and scripts using keyboard shortcuts or from the menu bar. You could set up AppleScript or Automator actions to turn on Dark Mode, hide the Dock and the menu bar or control HazeOver.
