Overview

Segue is a native macOS focus utility I designed and built in Swift and SwiftUI. It beautifies and blurs the desktop background to reduce visual clutter, helping users stay focused on the task in front of them — delivered as a lightweight, native app that feels at home on macOS.

The Challenge

A cluttered desktop is a constant low-level distraction. The goal was a utility that quietly cleaned up the visual environment without getting in the way — fast, native, and simple enough that users would actually leave it running. That meant building properly for macOS rather than wrapping a web view.

What I Built

A native macOS app written in Swift and SwiftUI
Real-time desktop background beautifying and blurring
A lightweight, menu-bar-friendly experience with minimal performance overhead
Native macOS integration for a smooth, system-consistent feel

Tech Stack

Swift, SwiftUI, and native macOS APIs.

Outcome

Segue gives macOS users a simple, native way to declutter their workspace and focus — a polished desktop utility that proves out clean native engineering beyond the web stack.
