Mac OS app

Most people are content using 1 computer screen. Sure it might be bothersome to switch between tabs or browsers even, but where’s the choice, otherwise. But for those who do, like gamers & software developers, it can become quite a pain working with multiple computer screens.

‘ScreenFocus’ is an app that was built for multi-screen use. The common thing with multiple screen users is that at 1 point they will have to focus on what is happening on one of the screens. This can be quite hard, especially considering that all other screens are in the same vicinity displaying different information. As such multiple screens can be quite distracting.

ScreenFocus, a macOS computer app, tries to rectify that. It helps dim all other screens in order to let an individual focus on that 1 screen they want to view. Thereafter, individuals can revive or brighten up any of the other screens by simply moving the cursor over them. Once the user moves the cursor away from a side screen, it reverts to dim.

The app also gives users control over the dim level & the amount of time a screen will stay bright before it reverts to dim. There are, however, custom settings that will need users to go to the application menu to change.
