Controls: Users can toggle dimming from the menu bar or a keyboard shortcut and adjust intensity with a scroll gesture.
Integrations: HazeOver supports Apple Shortcuts, Automations, Focus Filters, AppleScript, and third-party tools including Raycast.
System requirement: The current version requires macOS Ventura 13 or later, and older versions are listed for macOS 10.9 through Monterey 12.
