FocusView

About

FocusView helps you cut through visual clutter by dimming everything except what you're reading. Whether you're studying, researching, or just trying to get through a long article without losing your place — FocusView keeps your eyes where they need to be.
THREE FOCUS MODES

Element Mode — Hover over any paragraph, image, or section to instantly spotlight it while the rest of the page dims away.
Spotlight Mode — A draggable, resizable window you control. Move it around with your mouse or arrow keys.
Reading Strip — A horizontal band that follows your cursor, like a ruler tracking your line. Resize with [ ] keys.
