Focusline: Reading Ruler

Focusline. A calmer screen for easier reading.

Lay a soft color tint over your Mac and slide a guide under the line you're reading. Text gets easier to follow, and the screen gets easier on your eyes. One tap picks a mode, so no fiddling with settings unless you want to.

Four one-tap modes

• Reading: a clear line guides every line you read.

• Focus: everything but your app fades away.

• Spotlight: a soft light follows the line you're on.

• Night: warm, dim light that's easy on tired eyes.

What's inside

• Reading ruler. A thin bar, a wide highlight band, or a spotlight that follows your cursor. Pick the shape that keeps your place.

• Color overlay. Tint the whole screen any color and strength. The classic colored overlay, on every app at once.

• Distraction-free. Dim the whole screen except the window you're working in.

• Warm night wash. Knocks brightness and blue light down past the system minimum for late reading.

• Multi-monitor. Choose which displays get tinted.

• Tune it or don't. Color, opacity, width, height, and position are all yours. Or just tap a mode and go.

Lives in the menu bar

Works over anything: browser, Mail, Pages, Preview, your editor. No copy-paste, no importing. Flip it on from the menu bar or a keyboard shortcut, then off the moment you're done.

Made for

• Readers with dyslexia or Irlen / visual stress who find a colored overlay easier to read.

• Anyone at the screen all day who wants less glare and a softer, dimmer picture.

• People who find bright white screens harsh, late at night or any hour.

• Focus seekers who want the rest of the screen to go quiet.

Private by design

Focusline is a passive overlay that runs entirely on your Mac. No account, no tracking, nothing leaves your device.
