ScreenRuler at Mac App Store analyse

ScreenRuler for Mac is a visual software tool to assist with reading on the Mac. The ScreenRuler software provides a strip or ruler across the screen, which can have the contrast changed and have the background greyed, colored or dimmed out. You can also simply tint the entire screen.

ScreenRuler also supports dual monitors.

‘I am dyslexic, and therefore reading screen is a really difficult to do. I have used the trial version for an hour and decided to purchase this one. If you are dyslexic, or even if you are not, I think this is very helpful to read!’

• Overlay - Provides a full screen color overlay.
