In development

One Mac. Multiple contexts, right when you need them.

Context profiles in the menu bar and a filtered ⌘ Tab — see only the apps for this moment, without closing what you already had open.

Switch context without interrupting what you were doing.

Your apps stay open. Paravent helps you stay focused and shows you only the ones that belong to the active profile.

Your focus shifts. Your apps stay open.

Work, personal projects, and hobbies share the same screen — and the same attention. ⌘ Tab shows everything at once. Switching tasks exposes distractions and forces you to mentally reorganize.

  • Context profiles

    Split your activities and choose the windows for each profile.

  • Filtered ⌘ Tab

    See only the apps in the active profile when you switch tasks.

  • Nothing gets lost

    Apps outside the profile stay open — open them whenever you need.

How it works

Three steps to separate your contexts on Mac.

1

Create a profile

Give it a name and, optionally, a color.

2

Choose apps and windows

Define which windows belong to that profile.

3

Activate when you need it

Switch only between the windows added to the active profile.

Frequently asked questions

Answers about Paravent and how it works.

Paravent is a macOS app that groups apps and windows into profiles you create — like work, personal project, or hobby. When you activate a profile, ⌘ Tab shows only the windows from apps in that context.
Not exactly. Paravent is a context manager: it separates activities without closing apps or undoing the organization you already have. Windows and apps stay open — they just stop competing for your attention when they don't belong to the current moment.
Minimum compatibility requirements are still being defined. This information will be published once it's technically confirmed.
Yes — that's how Paravent is able to do what it's designed to do.
