Features

Built to disappear

Automatic fading

Background windows are hidden the moment you switch apps, keeping your screen clean without lifting a finger.

Pinned apps

Keep any app always visible. Pin from the menu bar or with a keyboard shortcut — it stays put no matter what.

Custom delay

Set how quickly windows fade, from instant to 3 seconds. Tune it until it feels completely natural.

Keyboard shortcuts

Toggle Fader or pin the active app without ever touching the mouse. Set your own shortcuts in Settings.

Toggle anytime

Flip Fader on or off from the menu bar with one click. No menus, no settings — instant focus or instant clutter, your call.

Lightweight

Lives quietly in your menu bar. No Dock icon, no clutter, minimal CPU usage.
