A cleaner, focused screen

Cover what you don't need and focus on what matters. DuskPane places translucent overlays anywhere on your Mac so you see only what's important.

DuskPane overlay covering part of a desktop screen

Hide distractions without losing context

Place a translucent overlay over any part of your screen. The frosted glass effect dims and blurs what's underneath while keeping just enough visible that you never lose your bearings. Adjust the opacity from barely-there to fully opaque -- whatever your focus needs.

Overlays that follow your windows Pro

Attach an overlay to any window and it moves with it -- resize, reposition, switch Spaces, and your overlays stay exactly where they belong. Set it once and forget it. Your layout adapts to you, not the other way around.

DuskPane uses two macOS permissions: Accessibility API for the window attachment feature (so overlays can follow your windows), and Screen Recording for overlay rendering (compositing on top of other windows). Both permissions are used entirely on your Mac -- DuskPane collects no data, runs no analytics, and makes no network calls. Your screen stays yours.

DuskPane is also available on the Mac App Store at $6.99. It's the same app minus window attachment -- a macOS sandbox limitation prevents that feature in the App Store version. If you start on the App Store and want window attachment later, there's an upgrade path with a discount.

DuskPane requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
