Facts

Purpose
ScreenFocus is a native macOS menu-bar utility that moves keyboard focus to the window under the pointer when it crosses to another display.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Highlights
It shows a configurable display border or corner markers, and can hide the overlay while keeping focus transfer enabled.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Window stacking
When the pointer is over an overlapped window, it focuses the topmost usable window instead of raising a larger background window.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Empty desktop
When no suitable window is under the pointer, a transparent focus-guard window prevents ordinary typing from going to a text field on the previous display.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Shortcuts
It does not intercept global keyboard events, so shortcuts from macOS, Raycast, Karabiner-Elements, and Logitech software remain available.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Display behavior
It can pause automatically when only one display is connected and resumes when a second display reconnects; this setting is enabled by default.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Compatibility
The app requires macOS 14 or later and supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Permissions
Focus transfer requires macOS Accessibility access, while Screen Recording and Input Monitoring permissions are not required.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Privacy
The maker says ScreenFocus is local-only, makes no network requests, and uses no analytics or telemetry.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Data handling
The app does not capture display pixels, take screenshots, use OCR, log global keystrokes, or capture audio; it stores preferences in macOS UserDefaults.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
Distribution
The maker provides downloadable releases, but says the app is locally signed rather than Apple-notarized.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
License
The source code and build scripts use the Mozilla Public License 2.0, while official prebuilt releases are also subject to an End User License Agreement.github.com · 5 Oct 2026
