Mac Format

Make the most of Focus filters

-

Customise how your apps and Mac behave when each of your Focuses is active. In addition to controllin­g any Notificati­ons that you receive, restrictin­g access to specific people, and the apps that you allow, you can refine each of those environmen­ts further using filters.

Add these in System Settings > Focus. Select the Focus you want to customise, with the Add Filter button at the bottom. Pick a calendar to show so, say, you only see work appointmen­ts in your Work Focus.

You can also filter Mail by inboxes, Messages by conversati­ons, and which of Safari’s tab groups to show. Your favourite third-party apps should also offer their own custom app filters. Use these controls to build yourself a complete custom environmen­t for each of your activities.
