Detects Focus.
Disables Notifications
Auto-Focus runs in the background, monitoring your active application. When you focus on configured apps for a set time, it automatically enables Do Not Disturb. Switch away, and notifications return after a buffer period.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Auto-Focus detect when I'm focused?
Auto-Focus monitors your active application and tracks how long you stay focused on configured "focus apps." When you focus for your set threshold time (default 12 minutes), it automatically enables Do Not Disturb mode.
What happens when I switch away from a focus app?
When you switch to a non-focus app, Auto-Focus starts a buffer timer (default 3 minutes). If you don't return to a focus app within this time, it ends the focus session and re-enables notifications.
Does Auto-Focus work with web applications?
Yes! The included Chrome extension tracks focus on specific websites like GitHub, Linear, Figma, and other productivity tools. Configure focus URLs in the main app to include web-based work.
What's the difference between Free and Auto-Focus+?
Auto-Focus Free limits you to 2 focus apps and basic insights. Auto-Focus+ removes all limits, adds advanced analytics, data export capabilities, and includes priority support and future updates.
Is my data private and secure?
Absolutely. Auto-Focus operates completely offline with no data collection, tracking, or cloud sync. All your focus data stays on your Mac, and you can export it anytime in CSV or JSON format.
What macOS versions are supported?
Auto-Focus requires macOS 12.0 (Monterey) or later. It's built with SwiftUI for optimal performance and native system integration, including proper Do Not Disturb control.
