FAQ
What is it again?
CenterFocus is an app for macOS that hides visual clutter, highlights your active window and brings it to the center stage with immersive effects.
How is it different from Stage Manager in macOS?
CenterFocus can be used as an alternative to Stage Manager, depending on the mode that you invoke it in:
- Center and focus - this mode centers the active window and highlights it, which can be used as a replacement for Stage Manager
- Focus only - this mode highlights the active window, but doesn't center it. This can be used alongside Stage Manager
Why does the app need Accessibility Permissions?
CenterFocus uses Accessibility features built in to macOS to interact with your windows.
Do you support multiple monitors?
Yes, the effect can be applied to the active window on the current screen only, or to all screens.
Who is it made for?
