About:
Blurred is a macOS utility designed to dim background or inactive application windows, enhancing focus on the active task. It provides a subtle visual overlay that reduces distractions from other screen content. This tool is particularly useful for users seeking a minimalist approach to minimizing visual clutter without fully hiding other windows.
Key Features:
  • Dims inactive windows to reduce visual noise
  • Configurable opacity and blur intensity
  • Lightweight and runs in the background
  • Supports hotkeys for quick toggling
Use Cases:
  • Focusing on a single application while keeping others visible but dimmed
  • Creating a distraction-free environment for coding or writing
  • Aesthetically softening the desktop for presentations or streaming
Alternatives:
  • Hocus Focus – Automatically dims inactive apps after a set period, offering a more hands-off approach
  • macOS Native Stage Manager – A system-level feature for window organization, but does not provide dimming effects
