Stay in the Flow, Automatically

Research from Meta shows that it takes an average of 23 minutes to get back into flow after being interrupted by a notification.

Auto-Focus intelligently monitors your work patterns and automatically enables Do Not Disturb mode after 12 minutes of focused work in your chosen applications.

When you switch to non-work apps, Auto-Focus gives you a buffer period before re-enabling notifications, ensuring you don't lose focus during quick context switches.
