Think... Look around your screen right now. It's okay, we'll wait.
At this very moment, applications are fighting for your attention. Between chat windows, Finder windows, Web browser windows, and everything else, it's amazing any of us can concentrate at all. As it has become easier to multitask, we've become more likely to have two dozen windows on the screen at any given moment. Innovations like Expose makes finding what you want in the sea of visual stimuli easier, but they've done little to remove those distractions.
Focusing takes concentration, and concentration takes energy. You can only concentrate on so much at a time, and you can't create more energy. What we need to do is change how we work.
Let's limit our attention to one application--any application--at any time. Let's make it easy to change focus when we have to. Let's allow ourselves to bring other apps up quickly if we need them, but put them out of sight again just as quickly.
Think lets you rediscover how to focus, and get back to thinking.

Start using it since Leopard. I often used it with mac's magnifier ('mac'+'shift'+'+') to simulate a fullscreen environment while playing wine games which didn't have fullscreen support. Thanks for the developer for his idea and efforts!

This is too bad because I like Think enough to pay for it (if it were working properly) and I'd bet other users would too. Reluctantly, I'm removing it from my applications folder for good since it appears to have been abandoned.
If you're looking for a program like this, try Isolator; it's almost as helpful. The only feature missing is the ability to focus on more than one application (Think allowed this, Isolator doesn't), but you can work around this flaw by using Afloat in conjunction with Isolator. Both apps are free. Cheers!

But there is place for improvement, and I am not alone:
I am writing a piece of research and I use two screens (my laptop and a side monitor).
I would like to have not ONE but TWO applications running, each on it's own screen.
Wouldn't it be cool to have one application on each screen? I'd like to have an application to view other source documents in order to proceed with my research writing.
Sure this scenario applies to other people who have to read and write, not just creative writing.
And surprisingly, there are a lot of people who use TWO monitors, at least in the environments where the company provides a desktop and the user has her/his own laptop.
Looking forward to see this application evolving with the need of the users!
Thanks guys for such a great little app!
Hint: the way to chose the applications is great! Why not have one of this controls on each screen?

And iSolator does a much better job.
