The record

Purpose: ScreenFocus is a native macOS menu-bar utility that moves keyboard focus to the window under the pointer when it crosses to another display.
Highlights: It shows a configurable display border or corner markers, and can hide the overlay while keeping focus transfer enabled.
Window stacking: When the pointer is over an overlapped window, it focuses the topmost usable window instead of raising a larger background window.
Empty desktop: When no suitable window is under the pointer, a transparent focus-guard window prevents ordinary typing from going to a text field on the previous display.
Shortcuts: It does not intercept global keyboard events, so shortcuts from macOS, Raycast, Karabiner-Elements, and Logitech software remain available.
Display behavior: It can pause automatically when only one display is connected and resumes when a second display reconnects; this setting is enabled by default.
Compatibility: The app requires macOS 14 or later and supports Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
Permissions: Focus transfer requires macOS Accessibility access, while Screen Recording and Input Monitoring permissions are not required.
Privacy: The maker says ScreenFocus is local-only, makes no network requests, and uses no analytics or telemetry.
Data handling: The app does not capture display pixels, take screenshots, use OCR, log global keystrokes, or capture audio; it stores preferences in macOS UserDefaults.
Distribution: The maker provides downloadable releases, but says the app is locally signed rather than Apple-notarized.
License: The source code and build scripts use the Mozilla Public License 2.0, while official prebuilt releases are also subject to an End User License Agreement.
Support: The maker directs users to a GitHub issue and asks them to include macOS version, Mac model and processor, display arrangement, target app, pointer location, and menu status.
Maker: The repository credits Rohit Das; his personal site identifies him as being in Uttarpara, India.
