A similar app I really like is HazeOver, which is a configurable dimmer for everything on the screen except the front window.

That is an A+ demo video - dimming the background of the page in sync with the effects in the video is very clever.
That was surprisingly awesome.
Seems nice but I'm afraid it would not be compatible with my main work setup: VS Code on my main monitor, my web browser on my external monitor, and my eyes going back and forth between these 2 windows every few seconds to either read code or check the effects on the hot-reloading app. If one of the windows is dimmed, it would be painful.
Then you don't need a focus app, I'd say. But HazeOver has some "rules" that could help you. I agree that it only makes sense for me, on a single big display. If I'm using the MBP 14" one, I'm always maximized...
This one was nice, pity it was never updated: https://github.com/dwarvesf/blurred
I use this, and absolutely recommend it. I am scared if it gets too much attention it will be Sherlocked, but I would love it Apple was able to ethically acquire and include it in macOS.
I love how the site reflects the darkness of the screen in the youtube video. nice touch!
Been using it ever since trying out the similar effect in KDE.
HazeOver is great, even when configured to be very subtle.
