A simple menu bar app to make your Mac workspace a little better.

Since 2015, Theine has been a simple Mac utility for keeping your Mac awake when you need it.

Theine 4 brings a complete rebuild for a more modern macOS experience, along with two new features, Hide Desktop and Focus Dim.

Hide Desktop covers your desktop icons and widgets with an image, blur, or color. It gives you a cleaner background instantly for sharing or recording your screen, or simply reducing visual distractions.

Focus Dim darkens everything behind your active window to help you focus, especially if you have multiple windows scattered across your desktop.

Despite the new features, Theine remains simple to use. You can right-click the menu bar icon to quickly turn Keep Awake on or off.

Theine is available on the Mac App Store for a one-time purchase of US$8.99.
