Blitz
Your life on the Mac just got a whole lot faster.

Normally: $17.00

ZOT Price: $7.99

How It Works
Focusing on a running application with Blitz suspends all other apps in the foreground. Some programs may seem like they would require very little of the CPU, but could actually be hogging more than their fair share. By suspending these apps with Blitz, your Mac will be able to dedicate maximum power to your present task. Defocusing will resume your other apps right where they left off.

Blitz saves you time.
Saving time means saving money when it comes to getting things done. Having Blitz by your side enables you to keep all the apps you need open at once, while still making sure your task at hand gets the oomph it requires.

Real world performance test
In our tests, Photoshop CS3 ran 12.9% faster when Blitz was activated. This was determined with a commonly used Photoshop benchmarking test from retouchartists.com on a Macbook Pro Intel Core Duo.

And don’t just take our word for it, check out what our users have to say:

“I recently learned about Blitz. As I had already used its venerable predecessor “Freeze Frame” and had found it an invaluable tool to increase my productivity I decided to give the new program a try. Well, I admit that it’s exceptionally more intuitive and the new FOCUS function that instantly freezes other programs processing consumption to increase the foreground application resources is really a manna from heaven! This function also blurs other background windows to allow you more concentration on the document you are working on. I also found the developer very friendly and responsive and would like to thank him heartily for his priceless assistance.”

- Fariborz Amirshahi

Integration with your workflow.

Because Blitz supports Applescript, you can quickly and easily integrate it with your own scripts. For example, slip in the focus command before your script starts a 3D render, and get the most out of what your Mac can muster.

System Requirements - A Mac running OS X 10.5 or greater

Blitz used to be named Bokeh. As a favor to Alien Skin Software, we changed the name so they could release a Photoshop plug-in named Bokeh. It will come out on approximately December 1, 2008. You can find their site at www.alienskin.com.
