I've always had problems with focusing on application windows. Recently I started using Better Touch Tool to fully maximize windows (when clicking the green button), but that might be a bit of a overkill on a 27" iMac. Maybe this app will work better. Thanks!

I hope it does. The idea I had behind HazeOver is that I don't want to manage windows at all. I just want them to get out of the way.

Just tested the App and I really loved it.

I was searching for something like this for quite sometime, as I tend to have a lot of windows open and this app helps me to focus on only one at a time.

Simple and efficient =)

Thanks !

Thank you. That's exactly what it is made for. I'm glad you like it.

I love this app. I gladly paid $3.99 when I saw it, as I've been wanting something like this for awhile.

Question: any evidence of increased battery life due to the lowered brightness on a portion of the screen?

I was sitting in a dark room with my MBP at full brightness and noticed how bright the windows are when they're focused and you have the dim set sufficiently high. There's gotta be at least SOME savings, right?

Thank you. I don't think MBPs have local backlight dimming in their LCDs. AFAIK only big expensive TVs do and MBPs displays are to thin to fit that =)

I just purchased this from the app store. Great work!

Ooh, thank you.

This looks awesome! Just got back from a camping trip and just saw your post. Might there be any spare codes left?

EDIT: if you are better by email, feel free to reach me at akoster (at) ieee.org Thanks in advance and looking forward to trying out and recommending this awesome-looking app.

Sent one by email. Have fun.

Looks like these are all gone. Shame, given the lack of both points and comments.

Here's one just for you. I hope you get to grab it: FLHLJJ777L3L

Hey sorry, I did something stupid and used the code you spared for @asherkin. Would be kind enough to share another one?

I'm kinda sleepy in my office and just copied and paste the code for fun, didn't expect it to work (or maybe can I reverse the procedure? I never used 'redeem' before :-/ )

Giveaways are always a lottery =) Enjoy it.

One more time. This time it's less attention rp9w4 grabbing xxr and rrhn conspicuous.

Thanks, unfortunately I was away/asleep and missed this one as well.

HOWEVER, bought a copy after reading through the comments / MAS reviews - it's pretty neat!

I'm generally working full-screen, but for the few times when not it'll be a life-saver. I lost so much productive time recently getting distracted by IRC in the background :P

UPDATE 2: Some time ago I sent some codes to bloggers. Unused codes are expiring soon and I'm going to give them away as well. Please comment if you'd like to get HazeOver.

I'd like one--I often get confused about whether I've switched my focus or not, and this seems like a good way to manage that! Curious about the plans for the update, too. :)

Thanks!

I think you'll love it. I'll send you a code when I get back home in a few hours.

Thanks, appreciate it! :)

I'm back! http://tokn.co/c53b53x5

Aw, man--I'm too slow, it was already redeemed. Thanks anyway!

EDIT: My email address is: john.d.swanson at the biggest search engine's email service dot com, if you want to try that. Again, thanks. :)

Got it!

UPDATE: apparently all gone. Please do check out the site and leave a comment if you'd like it. I have a few codes left to give out in the comments.

Looks like all are gone. Will check out the app when i get home. I think this will help with what i have been wanting for awhile.

Thanks though.

As a Windows user, I'm jealous this is for Mac only. Great work @pointum!

Does anyone know a similar tool for Windows 7/8?

Thank you. Funny thing is that initially I planned to create this app for Windows, but then I switched to Mac.

been looking for this for ages. Just happily paid $4. Feature request - I'd like to be able to turn it on/off per monitor.

Thank you. The update I have mentioned includes better support for multiple monitors. I.e. each screen would wave its own highlighted window. Would that help in your case?

That's exactly what I want! At my desk I use a huge monitor, which is where I'm loving HazeOver. I keep my macbook air on my desk for email and chat, which is already hard to see due to it's size. So I usually keep that a little brighter. With HazeOver as it is now, it's dark all the time.

I could use all the help I can get!

Any more codes? This looks great!

If you like it then you shoulda put a rxfxyh on it wnm9mm

:)

Hello !

Can you share another one ?

Seems an amazing product =)

Too bad there are no PMs in here fn6fe439mymy.

Yay ! Thank you =)

Is there a useable demo?

Demos should have some limitations. It's such a small and simple app than I don't know how to make an adequate demo out of it.

I was just thinking time limited trial; full functionality for 3 days or something.

Id love one thanks

Here wttwx you xh97nkx go!

Hero. Thank so much
