Monocle 2.0 for macOS - Noise-cancelling for your screen

A sleek, minimalist menu-bar app that elegantly blurs everything but your active window, giving you the focus you need. The 2.0 update introduces a smooth window-to-window transition, along with other improvements and new features.

The UI alone makes me want to download it. Beautiful work!

Thanks @abod_rehman That was the goal! :)

Underrated feature of this product is it just makes everything non essential on your screen look super sleek!

Dominik Kandravý

@dawid_baranowski hahah, true!

I love the catchphrase, whoever I don't understand the use case of this? I use a laptop so all the time I switch between windows

Dominik Kandravý

@utiq Totally fair! I get that the app won’t be for everyone :)

Bryce York

I love this concept. Any idea on if/when it will be available for windows?

Dominik Kandravý

Hey Bryce, I’m glad you like it!

Unfortunately, I don’t have any plans to release this on Windows (at least not in the near future). I’m not a developer. Just a designer using Cursor to bring this to macOS. And maintaining two separate versions would be a bit too much for me right now. Thanks for understanding!

@heyiamdk No worries. I'll let my Mac friends know about.

@heyiamdk oh no. I was about to ask the same 😭. Seeing this made my overpacing mom brain feel sooo at ease. No open tabs, just focus. Thank you and hope you will be able at some point to handle both: Mac and windows.

@rdd hahah, as I said to Bryce, I can’t promise a Windows version anytime soon, but who knows what the future holds! :)

Monocle is my daily go to. Congrats on the launch @heyiamdk

@champkid 🙌 Thanks Greg!

Love the concept. I want it for windows though.

Dominik Kandravý

@philip_chase Unfortunately, there's no plan for the Windows version for now, Philip

Cruise Chen

cool idea.... sometimes i do lose focus as there are so many things going on the screen! Will it affect running efficiency for other task windows?

Phil Mishanin

The new animation is a bit weird and distracting

Vlad Shumov

I always love discovering products that I didn't know I needed. Lovely!

How intense is it in terms of power usage?

Michael Gaylord

Very cool. Love the idea!
