Review by:
4.5/5

Depending on your work environment, it can get pretty difficult to focus on the task at hand, especially while having access to the Internet. Luckily, there are various applications out there that can restrict access to certain utilities or features so they are no longer a temptation. CinemaDrape Portable helps you focus by covering unnecessary space on your screen with a veil.

The application roughly takes about 200 Kb of space on your hard disk drive and the amount of system resources used is not something to worry about. Since this is the portable version you can easily store it on a removable drive and only use it at work.

It's core function is to cover your screen with a color gradient in order to completely eliminate any temptations that delay progress in your tasks. Using the mouse, you define the area of interest and the rest disappears under an opaque veil.

By default, a fully opaque black area covers the part of the screen other than the selected area. You are able to set the color of the veil from the options menu, as well as the level of opacity.

Multiple focus areas can be created and once they are available you can move them around or adjust width and height to carefully surround the focus area. The veil toggles on and off simply by pressing a custom combination of keys you can set from the options menu.

You can save multiple layouts to a file under an application specific format for later use. Having seen it supports hotkeys, it is only a pity you are not able to configure them to switch between saved profiles.

To end with

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that CinemaDrape Portable is a neat application to keep around in case you notice a drop in productivity. Even though it can easily be toggled on and off, it helps you focus by eliminating even visual temptations, which can be pretty motivational.
