Issue I run into with focus modes is that it doesn’t block the App Library on iOS and iPadOS and it doesn’t block any apps on macOS. When all your apps are still available in focus modes to me it defeats the purpose.
I still can’t launch camera from Camera Control as quickly as from a lower-right dock app. It’s faster than the long press on the lock screen, though, so I’ve at least repurposed that.
Here’s a vote for an episode deep-diving on @MacSparky ’s phone dock — and how he has set up his various actions to trigger via Shortcuts(?)…
In principle, I think focus-modes are a brilliant idea.
But the few times I tried any sort of setup deeper than the initial offered suggestions, I struggled to understand how to tweak them — and my fear of unintentionally missing important notifications because of that, had me back away.
Actually, I’m not even sure I understand the basic options offered by Apple… So any help in this regard would be very useful.
I would love it if Apple let you disable certain apps and sites in different focus modes!
Has David ever shared a screenshot of what are in those pick from lists in his Dock shortcuts? A full episode would be great but for inspiration I’d öcoe just a screenshot that’s showing the options he put there, so just the list itself and not all the details of the individual Shortcuts.
I started setting up but struggling with ideas.
Just wanted to agree the battery widget from Apple should show all batteries under your iCloud account—looking at you iPad. And vice versa, I want my iPad battery widget to show all my other devices, iPhone, Mac, etc.
