Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm excited to launch Wick today.
As someone who spends hours reading documentation and long-form articles every day, I often found my eyes wandering across my large monitor due to visual clutter. I built Wick to solve this exact problem.
Wick acts as a digital reading ruler. It dims the surrounding screen and creates a clean spotlight that tracks your cursor. It's incredibly simple, but the impact on reading comprehension and focus is massive.
A few things I love about it:
It's keyboard-first: You can tweak the size, shape, and blur of the spotlight using global hotkeys without ever interrupting your flow.
It's native: Built specifically for macOS, it's lightweight and snappy.
I'd love for you to try it out and let me know what you think. Any feedback on the default shapes, hotkeys, or overall experience is super welcome!
Happy focused reading! 📖✨
