Hey all!
I made this macOS application after comming back from holidays and realising I can't keep my focus when there are so many distractions trying to steal my attention.
I love that macOS introduced focus modes, but there are few things that are bugging me: Even when the focus mode is enabled, all apps that are in my dock can still update their notification badge! So even if I quit Messages app and turn on focus mode, receiving new message means that a red badge appears on Messages app in my Dock. I click it without thinking too much, start reading, replying, click some link and the story goes from there : )) Focus is lost : (
So my idea was to build an app that allows me to temporarily remove apps like Calendar, Mail, Messages, etc. from dock while I'm trying to focus on my work. And leave only those ones that are required for my task
And it helped!
Turning focus mode off after completing my task brings back my original dock allowing me to catch up on my missed messages or mail.
By the way, I've added "Focus Wallpaper" feature as well - ability to change wallpapers when being on focus mode
I'm still trying to improve it, so if anyone has ideas how focus modes on macOS can further be improved - let me know, I'm open to ideas! : )
