HazeOver • Distraction Dimmer™ App Reviews

I was diagnosed with ADHD in november (I’m 35) and this has been a godsend. With hazeover I can turn down the “volume” on all the apps in the background, meaning my attention is less likely to be stolen by notifications on facebook, or new emails. I can’t recommend it enough. As feedback for the devs: I think the “more settings” button in the menu is a little hard to see, and I didn’t realize it was there for a while. I’d like it if you could more easily switch between the single-app mode, and the one-app-per-monitor mode. I’m often switching between one-screen (reading a contracct) and two-screen (design & development) tasks, so being able to change that faster would be helpful. Maybe even in the drop-down menu.

if you can add the option to group some app together so have them both to be highlight would be awesome. like my browser and text editor when I am doing research side by side. keep up the good work !!

So far so good with this darkness behind, makes me focus more! i am wondering if it effects the battery remaining time positively?

I always had a problem with lack of depth in OS X and this fixes my issue. Well designed, works fast and stable. Good contact with developer! Im happy with my purchase.

Not a one of a king magic app that will make you super productive just by the fact you buy & install it, but it is a small, but useful app. Pros: - really polished - good multi-display support - good configuration options Cons: - keyboard shortcut not configurable

That was really quick! Many thanks!

awesome!

Does what it says on the box. Dims everything except for the frontmost window. Get it.

the turner shows up, and nothing else. I really want my money back!

I would say that this application does what it states. My screen does dim in the background which helps me concentrate on my work. The only downside to this is if you are watching Netflix on Safari and want to type up a word document on Word, you cannot do both without sacraficing Netflix into that dark background. It would be nice if this was implemented in some creative way.

very nice, much cooler than I expected. And for a buck on sale, well you cant beat that !

Perfect app to take advantage of multi-window productivity offered by a large monitor without the distractions of too many windows. This app will be even better with an option to keep two windows highlighted.

It’s the best of it’s kind.

This is amazing app to be more focused on your current document/window. This small app is amazing! It really helps me to boost my productivity. A.W.E.S.O.M.E!

Great app, but i’m sure there’s more the dev can think of. Regardless, thank you! It really helps at night to reduce light.

I work in an open-plan office and have enough distractions – this clever utility really helps bring my attention back to what I was working on after I’m (often!) interrupted. The developer has been very responsive, fixing an issue I had with multiple displays in just a day or two. It’s worth more than he’s asking!

The developer is continually updating this app, one of my favorites. With 3 monitors on my work Mac, it’s easy to get distracted by too many applications and windows open. HazeOver helps me focus on the task at hand. Check it out.

When I first saw this, I wasn’t sure it would even work, never mind if I would like the idea. But it works, and it’s definitely helpful. It even works on my iMac with 3 monitors!

I’m very happy with the app. It works very well and it’s seamless.

I felt the stress fade away in the first minutes of using this app. Thanks!
