CinemaDrape helps you focus on your current task on the screen (such as a video in a web page, a photo or a document editor area) by instantly blanking or dimming the other less important areas in a web page or in the background windows.


TunnelVision allows you to hide the parts of the screen where your mouse cursor is not, effectively increasing privacy (though at a cost).
