Make Opaque

Make Opaque is a lightweight, privacy-first reading tool designed to help you maintain deep focus on any webpage. By dimming the surrounding screen and creating a clear, transparent "opening" in the center, it acts as a digital reading ruler, guiding your eyes exactly where they need to be. Whether you are reading long articles, studying for exams, managing ADHD or dyslexia, or just trying to reduce eye strain during late-night reading sessions, Make Opaque gives you complete control over your reading environment. CORE FEATURES: • Follows Your Lead: The transparent opening naturally follows your mouse cursor as you read down the page. • Lock Opening: Found the perfect spot? Press Alt+H (Option+H on Mac) to lock the opening in place and scroll the page behind it. • Instant Toggle: Turn the overlay on or off instantly from any tab using Alt+O (Option+O on Mac) without ever clicking a menu. • Fully Customizable: Fine-tune the overlay opacity and opening height in precise 5% increments, and choose the exact background color that feels best for your eyes. You can also remap the default keyboard shortcuts anytime by navigating to chrome://extensions/shortcuts in your browser. • Accessible Design: Built from the ground up to be intuitive and colorblind-friendly, with tooltips and high-contrast indicators. FAST, SECURE, AND PRIVATE: Make Opaque is built for performance and peace of mind. It requires zero external dependencies, injects no bloated code, and runs entirely locally on your machine. We do not track your browsing history, collect personal data, or serve ads. Your focus belongs to you.
