Magna icon

Magna

Magna is a lightweight magnifier for macOS. It opens a floating window that stays above your other windows and shows an enlarged view of your screen, either following your mouse or locked to a region you choose. Zoom from 1x to 10x with the scroll wheel, the + and - keys, or a slider. Open several independent magnifier windows (Command-N), dock a magnifier to the top or bottom of the screen, make it fade when you are not using it, or pin it to stay fully visible. Magna runs from the menu bar and does not add an icon to the Dock. Magna works entirely on your Mac: it has no account, sends nothing over the network, and never saves what it shows.
