SoloFlight for Mac Lets You Stay Focused

Some applications are simple, yet useful. On Mac OS X, some apps are so simple they don’t even have a visible UI. I can name a few of those apps which help me every single day in getting things done and save time.

SoloFlight for Mac lets you stay focused and keeps your Mac desktop uncluttered.

Created by Klein Maetschke and Tim Davies, SoloFlight sits in your Mac menubar and does one thing: it allows you to enable and disable the “Single App Mode”. Select an app, and that’s the only app you’ll see on your screen. I’ve been using the app for some time now, and while I sometimes miss “the background noise” of app windows behind the main one, I can say SoloFlight helps you stay concentrated on what you’re doing.

The app is free. It works good. Go download it!
