Honer — Minimal active-window highlighter for macOS
Honer is a free Mac utility that makes the currently active window easy to spot. It outlines the focused window with a border you can customize, helping you quickly see which app or document has focus so you can stay on task.
How it works
The tool places a visible frame around the window you’re using. You can adjust the border’s color and thickness to suit your preferences, and the effect updates automatically when you switch apps or open new windows. Its straightforward design keeps setup and use fast and simple.
Key advantages
- Makes it simple to pick out the active window in multi-window or multi-app environments
- Easy enough for casual users, while still useful for power users who need a tidy workspace
- Lets you personalize the highlight (color, size) so it fits your visual workflow
- Helps reduce distraction and speeds up task switching by clarifying focus
Who benefits most
Anyone who works with many open windows—writers, developers, designers, or multitaskers—will find Honer helpful. It’s particularly valuable if you want a low-effort way to reduce visual clutter and keep attention on the task in front of you.
