Monocle is a sleek, minimalist app that removes distractions by blurring everything but your active window, giving you the focus you need. No window juggling—just the task at hand, with everything else calmly waiting. It’s like noise-canceling for your screen.
👋 Hey everyone, I'm Dominik, a product designer who built Monocle with the help of Cursor.
What started as a tool for my own focus needs turned into something I'm really excited to share – because there might be other people who would appreciate a simple tool to help them focus while working on their Mac.
Whether you're a minimalist, living with ADHD, or just seeking a calmer workspace...I think you'll love Monocle :)
