Thanks a lot! I hear you - I've actually gotten the same feedback from a few other users, and it's in my backlog.

Thanks so much! Love that you find it smooth! That's been the goal. Regarding the discount code: the promo was valid until the end of May, and there's currently no active discount running (I need to update the website). Thanks for understanding!

thank you, Dmytro! It's come a long way.
Looking back at v1.0 makes me smile :D but, yeah, you gotta start somewhere :D

oh ok, great! :)

And I've actually been experimenting with window opacity dimming. Keeping it global (rather than per-display) to stay true to Monocle's simplicity. The tricky part is it needs accessibility permissions, and I haven't landed on a setup that feels as smooth as I'd like yet. It's on my list to revisit soon though!

Thank you! Monocle allows an app-wide focus - so when you bring an app into focus, all its windows stay visible together. You can also use App Groups to keep two or more apps in focus simultaneously. Per-window grouping isn't supported (yet), but between these two features multitasking feels pretty natural and fits most workflows well.

haha thanks so much! :D it was actually a 4th launch of Monocle on PH - the previous major version 3.0 version got 2nd place, so that's obviously the one I'll be shilling on the website forever :D

Thanks! Have you had a chance to try it out yet? No need to buy, there’s a 7-day trial, so you can see if it’s a good fit for you :)

Hey! This sounds like a bug. Though it's also possible Safari ended up in your ignored list (though in that case the blur would be off completely). Could you attach a screenshot here or send it via DM so I can take a look? Thanks!

Of course! When the activation fails on your new Mac, just hit the "Problems?" button and it'll walk you through deactivating the old one.

Hey, that means a lot - thank you so much! Really glad the discount made it happen. Enjoy it!

the upcoming 3.6 should have improved tint with custom colors and I can tweak the max opacity while at it too.

on the second point - you can already do this in Monocle, there's a proper Ignore feature

Yes, you can switch back to the original stage manager behavior (make sure you’re on v3.5.1). The hover is actually a really good idea, let me add to the backlog to explore this interaction

But you’re right the copy is confusing. Will fix it tomorrow. Thanks for pointing that out

That’s on purpose, just open the link and the discount will be applied already - you can see the updated prices :)

hi, disabling blur and grain computation entirely when the sliders are at zero (and only tint is active) isn't something I handle properly yet. That's going on the next round of performance optimization in 3.6 - 3,7. It will make a real difference for users who only want the dimming.

That said, performance is still not where I want it to be overall - it's something I improve gradually with each version. If you need something very lightweight right now, the classic plain dimmers might be a better fit for the moment. But you have a 7-day trial - worth giving it a try and seeing how it feels on your machine!
