Drain features


Make your screen less distracting

Switch your Mac to grayscale in a click and tone down the visual noise. When everything looks a bit less shiny, it’s easier to stay on task.


Automate grayscale your way

Set schedules, create routines, and let Drain handle the timing. You can have grayscale kick in during work hours, late at night, or whenever your focus tends to wander off.


Use app-based rules

Choose which apps should trigger grayscale automatically. Great for social media, news, or any app that has a habit of stealing “just two minutes” from your day.


Stay in control with quick toggles

Turn grayscale on or off whenever you need it. No digging through system settings. No fuss. Just a fast reset for your screen and your attention span.


Build healthier screen habits

Drain helps you create a calmer digital environment without blocking apps or getting in your way. It’s gentle, practical, and surprisingly effective.


Keep things simple

The app focuses on one job and does it well: making your Mac less visually addictive. If you want a lightweight focus tool, Drain keeps things refreshingly straightforward.
