Just bought it. This app works well on OS X Yosemite and OS X El Capitan.
You can blur the background window! And ISOLATOR app NOT!

This is way too expensive! $24.99 for something you can get free with Isolator. … No Demo either ...

Great app! The price seems totally reasonable, because you got different type of layers. (And YES Gaussian Blur is back :-D) Other apps do ONLY have a black layer. And I really like this app. Now I can dim my full desktop screen and cut my YouTube video frame out of this dark layer. Another feature they got; advanced time schedule when the lights go off or on. Check the video on their website!

I honestly don't see how this is any different than the free Isolator program. Maybe it is, but I'm not going to spend $25 to find out.
