We previously reviewed Writeroom (no longer free) which provides a distraction-free writing environment. Jon Udell has written about the clarity and flow that comes from working without distractions, and though Mac OS X is far less distracting than Windows, we can always do more to minimize attention-grabbing Dock icons, windows, and alerts.

Think helps you minimize distractions by dimming or completely hiding background windows. For example, if you’re working in Mail, your Safari and Calendar windows are dimmed out so as not to distract you. You can easily switch between applications, but focus on one at a time.
