Skimmet - Squint Testing Tool for Designers

If you design, write, or visualize data, you know this: People don’t read. They skim. They skip details. They look for what stands out.

Skimmet adds a toolbar button with two filters: Blur and Grayscale. They show you how well your design directs attention.

🔍 How Skimmet filters help you

🔵 Blur Mode – See what jumps out first.

+ What’s the first thing your eyes land on?
+ How strong is your Call-To-Action (CTA)?
+ How do skimmers move through your page?
+ Do your headings stand out, or do they disappear?

⚫ Grayscale Mode – Test visual weight.
+ How balanced is your contrast?
+ Do your colors create enough hierarchy?
+ Does your design guide or confuse?

Together, these filters show you what’s working and what’s missing.
