PeekFocus brings intentional focus to your Mac workflow. One keystroke dims or blurs everything behind your active window — so your screen matches the clarity you're going for. Three modes: your normal desktop, a calm ambient backdrop, or full focus where only your active window stays visible. Frosted blur, smooth dim, or custom wallpaper. Multi-display. Menu bar. No subscription. 7-day free trial. One-time purchase.
I've always found it hard to stay focused on a Mac — background windows, visual noise, a cluttered desktop all competing for attention. I wanted something that simply faded everything away except what I was working on.
PeekFocus was built as a calmer way to work. Instead of mode-switching apps or complex focus timers, it works in one keystroke — dimming or blurring everything behind your active window so your screen matches the clarity you're going for.
It's just as useful when you are presenting or on a screen share. Ambience mode keeps your desktop clean and professional without hiding your work — no more scrambling to close tabs or tidy your desktop before a call.
The goal is simple: help you stay in flow and look polished without changing how you work.
PeekFocus is built natively for macOS and runs completely locally — no analytics, no tracking, and no data ever leaves your Mac. One-time purchase, no subscription.

Would love to hear how you currently manage focus on your Mac, or whether you have ever wished your screen looked a little cleaner during a presentation.

Who hunted PeekFocus?
PeekFocus was hunted by Sulochanal Chellian.
