JediConcentrate
September 26th, 2006
From Lifehacker:
Windows only: Free, open source app JediConcentrate lets you black out all but your active window to help you concentrate on your task at hand and avoid distractions.
A quick keyboard shortcut (F12) activates JediConcentrate, fading your inactive windows to black. You can adjust the background opacity (if I’m using this, I want it pretty close to black) and the fade speed in the program’s options. JediConcentrate really isn’t bulletproof, since a simple Alt-Tab will allow another window to break through the overlay, but it could be a useful system tray app for those of you who just need a little help focusing.
On the other hand, if you do a lot of word processing and you really want to block out distractions, check out previously-mentioned Darkroom. Thanks
I dunno how useful this will be but if anything its fun to play with if you’re bored, or if you have lots of windows open.
