Every time I sat down to read a long article or technical doc or study on my Mac, my eyes would wander — even with Do Not Disturb on and social media closed.
I realized the culprit wasn’t notifications; it was visual clutter. Browser tabs, sidebars, the Dock, and the rest of the page were constantly pulling at my peripheral vision.
I built Reading Flashlight to replicate the feeling of reading a book under a desk lamp in a dark room. With one shortcut (⌃ ⌥ F), your cursor becomes a soft spotlight (Circle, Reading Bar, or Focus Box) while the rest of your screen dims and blurs into the background — completely click-through, across every macOS app.
No complicated productivity system, no setup. Just light on what you’re reading, and nothing else.
