Muffle is a premium productivity application for Mac designed to improve visual focus. It achieves this by adding a blur effect to background windows, so users can give their full attention to what they’re doing in the foreground. Newcomers can avail themselves of the free trial offer before making a purchase decision. 

Laser focus 

In a nutshell, Muffle is a visual focus tool that helps you focus on the task at hand by letting you blur out every other window open in the background. You can do so by shaking your cursor to blur or unblur everything but the active window. The app boasts a light footprint and has very minimal impact on system performance when in use. 

You can also dive into its settings to manually adjust the blur and dim level sliders to fine-tune the effect to your preference. Now, compared to its contemporaries like HazeOver or Monocle, the newcomer does not offer extra features or additional customization options, which doesn’t help make a case for itself and its asking price. 

Block out everything else 

Overall, if you’ve been struggling with focusing on your task or just want to create a cleaner, purposeful work setup, Muffle is a handy app that can help you out. Blur and dim any and all distractions, so you can place your attention on the active window and the thing that needs to get done. Give it a try and see for yourself.
