PeekFocus

Deep work sessions

Focus on a single document or code editor while everything else fades into a blur or dim.

Design and creative work

Keep your design tool sharp while secondary windows or reference images soften in the background.

Presentations and demos

Show only the active app to an audience, with a calm backdrop replacing desktop noise.

Multi-monitor setups

Apply the effect to all displays at once or configure each screen independently for a consistent focus environment.

Casual browsing or reading

Reduce distraction from other open apps when reading long articles or research papers.

Ambient desktop mode

Use Ambience mode to replace the background with a calm gradient or wallpaper, keeping windows in place.

Three modes

Switch between Standard, Ambience, or Focus from the menu bar—each mode does one thing, beautifully, and remembers its own surface settings.

Beautiful surfaces

Choose from a frosted blur, a smooth dim with three intensity levels (subtle, balanced, strong), or replace the background with your own wallpaper.

Hold to Reveal

Hold the Option key (or a modifier of your choice) to briefly peek underneath the veil without leaving Focus mode—release and the calm returns.

Shake to Toggle

Give your mouse a small shake to toggle the veil on or off, keeping your hands on the trackpad and eyes on the work.

Every display support

Apply the calm to one screen or all of them, with multi-display setups treated as first-class citizens.

Live Gradient

Enable a slowly drifting gradient that breathes in the background for optional movement, or leave it off for stillness.

Desktop Widget

Tap a widget on your desktop to switch modes without opening the app, providing a second path to the same calm.

Speaks Your Language

Ships with 35 languages out of the box, following your Mac's system language or letting you pick one directly from the menu.
