The best $2.99 Ive spent this year
Im pretty big on staying focused in general. Always very spartan about keeping my physical desk and the OS X Desktop tidy. I downloaded HazeOver today, and this is the best $2.99 Ive spent this year. I also tried Hocus Focus, but it doesnt always hide the right window and for me it ended up being a pretty confusing UX. For example, I launched Calculator thru Alfred for a quick calculation, and all in sudden my Chrome window becomes hidden. I think HazeOver is less dramatic and worked out better for me. (I do change the Haze to almost the darkest setting.)
I also find it helpful to hide the Dock once I start using HazeOver.
One complaint: it doesnt work outside of the main screen. I usually leave my Macbook open on the side as a second screen, but HazeOver doesnt darken anything in that screen. But I guess the point is to stay focus so this isnt a deal breaker for me.
