Muffle 1.3

Muffle

If you’re talking about the macOS desktop program Muffle 1.3, it’s a productivity tool that reduces visual distractions by blurring and darkening background windows that aren’t in use. By separating the active programme on your screen, it makes your workspace cleaner.

Muffle is well optimised to operate with almost no performance overhead because it is built natively in Swift. After it first launches, it uses hardly any CPU or GPU, so it doesn’t deplete your Mac’s battery or impede other demanding apps. macOS 14.0 and subsequent versions are compatible with it.

Features of the application:

Background Blurring & Dimming:

This technique helps your brain concentrate on a single activity by softening background visual noise and dimming inactive windows.

Adjustable Intensity:

Personalised sliders to precisely determine the background dimness level and blur %.

Shake-to-Toggle:

Just shake your cursor to quickly blur or unblur the workspace.

Lightweight Performance:

Using native code, there is essentially no idle CPU/GPU overhead.

Multi-Monitor Support:

Works well in configurations with several screens.

Auto-Launch:

The choice to start the program on your computer automatically

Using your macOS menu bar, Muffle slowly fades your background apps to keep your attention on the work at hand. In contrast to conventional single-layer dimmers, it lets you completely adjust the screen dimness percentages and blur strength to your personal taste.

Frequently asked questions

How to install and activate?

Run the downloaded image and drag the application to the Applications folder shortcut.
Once copying is complete, the application can be launched via Launchpad.

Is the program corrupted? Is the file broken? Or is there other errors?

There are so many errors, we can't list them all here. Therefore, we've described all the solutions (with pictures) in the article: Errors when installing applications on a Mac

How do I update? Officially? What happens with activation?

Official updates may result in loss of activation unless otherwise stated in the installation instructions.
To update the software from this website, you must download the new version of the software from here (if available) and install it over the version currently installed on your computer. This will preserve your activation and settings for the software.

How do I download it? The link isn't working? What is .torrent?

To download large files, it is recommended to use any download manager, for example, FDM (Free Download Manager)
For downloading from a file sharing service like Filen.io, it's not recommended to use Safari. Use Google Chrome or the aforementioned FDM browser, for example.
To download files via torrent (.torrent file), you need a torrent client, such as Transmission or the aforementioned FDM.
Please remember that providers may block access to some websites (1fichier.com, etc.). To bypass these blocks, it is recommended to use a VPN.

An update has been released. When will you update the version?

The site administration doesn't hack anything. That's the job of release teams and some enthusiasts. They're the ones responsible for ensuring updates are available. But you can hack software yourself by learning reverse engineering.

Add... Where is the order desk?

Definitely not in the comments. The site administration doesn't hack anything, and there's no order desk. However, you can order the software you need (not for free) in a special thread on forum.ru-board.com.

How to change the language?

Open System Preferences -> General > Language & Region -> Applications – "+".
Select an app and language. This method works for most people.
The language in Adobe products is usually selected during the installation of the product itself.
The language in games is usually changed in the game settings itself.
There are exceptions. Don't hesitate to search for information online.

How to delete?

There are many options. The easiest is to use specialised app removal tools, such as App Cleaner & Uninstaller.
To remove Adobe products, use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.

Need help?

The site offers a paid service: remote assistance (via AnyDesk, Zoom, or Skype) with the installation of any applications (not just those from this site) on any Mac or PC.
