## About

When your desktop gets busy, it can be hard to concentrate on the draft in front of you. DeskBlur softens the windows around your document so you can keep your train of thought and make progress. If you need a detail from your notes, turn on unblur on hover to glance at them without switching apps.

Adjust blur and dimming independently from the menu bar. Set a different intensity for each app or exclude apps altogether. If you work across two displays, you can apply DeskBlur to your main screen and keep reference material clear on the other.

Developed in France, DeskBlur has no ads, requires no DeskBlur account, and sends no automatic telemetry. Your settings stay on your Mac. Try every feature free for 7 days. When the trial ends, the effects stop and your settings are saved. A one-time purchase unlocks continued use, with no subscription or automatic charge.
