ScreenFocus - Working with multiple monitors made right.

Working on multiple screens?

Getting distracted by side monitors brightening somewhere in your peripheral vision?

That’s why we created ScreenFocus.

The app dims your screens. You don't have to click any button to dim a screen. It's dimmed automatically when you move the cursor away. By default, only the side screens are dimmed. Of course, you can change it within the app menu.

You can easily customize its settings:

- dim level (how dark a screen gets),

- which monitors are dimmed,

- fade-in duration,

- fade-out duration,

- dimming delay time.

I can't find how select which monitors should dim. Any tips?
Marcin Krzywonos
@tharandur Just open the app menu on the monitor you want / don't want to dim and click "Dimming enabled"

Good idea 🙂 With how many screen can you use it simultaneously?
Marcin Krzywonos
@matthieudeluze There are no limits. However we tested with 3 screen only.

I work with multiple monitors and this makes so much sense. I had been looking for something similar which can also "focus" on a window without me clicking on it (Not sure if it's possible through the api), but no luck :/

@wirddin It will be part of 1.1 update :)

Wanted to give it a try but does not seem to be working for me =/ macOs version: 10.12.6

@stvad Sad to hear that! Please contact us via apptorium.com/contact so we can figure out what's wrong.

Should make more clear its for Mac only. Neither post description nor website makes this very clear. Windows users will be confused. Maybe change animation to use Apple monitors as well, it will help.

Would it be possible to add a feature where the monitor with the current active window is automatically brightened regardless of where the mouse cursor is?
Marcin Krzywonos
@iamarjunrao We're working on that

Hey Marcin Are you actually DIMMING the screen or putting a BLACK overlay instead? (I feel it is the second one). I find this a bit annoying, because on the "dimmed screen" the monitor backlights are still visible (and they are bright). You probably had a reason to do this in that way, but if it's possible, please fix that (in the next version) and use the "REAL BRIGHTNESS" of the monitor. 🙏 Cheers! PS: Would be great if SF would dim the keyboard backlights as well (on the MacBooks laptops) ;)

Hmmm . . . this has never been a problem for me and I run three displays at once :-)
