Version History of Mind the Focus

2.6.1

September 15, 2024

This update fixes two bugs: - The individual notification settings of an event are now correctly overwritten if it is part of a series of events - The universal clipboard could accidentally overwrite the notification settings that are passed to the corresponding shortcut at the start of an event, which led to incorrectly set focus

2.6.0

September 12, 2024

With this update, you can now manually disable the focus after the end of events instead of having the focus automatically deactivated by Mind the Focus. Additionally, there is now an option in the settings to disable notifications for events from newly added calendars by default. We have also fixed a small bug where shortcuts were not added correctly through the settings. Enjoy your focus!

2.4.0

July 4, 2024

You can now access event notification settings faster! Swipe an event left to mute its notifications. Swipe right to enable notifications for an event. If the event is part of a series, you will only change the notification settings for that one event. Aside from that, we fixed a few bugs: • Events recently had to be muted twice before they were truly muted • Lead-up notifications for events are now delivered even after an event has started • Follow-up notifications are now delivered even within the delay that the focus deactivates after an event • Too many notifications were scheduled in the background, so some of them might have been missed

Reviews of Mind the Focus

Leave a Review Mind the Focus
  • Nice idea but

    Nice idea and maybe I didn’t read the description properly but I don’t see the point of this app it it can’t set the focus automatically. I understand that it maybe a restriction on apples part.
  • Just what I needed

    For years, I’ve been struggling to work out a way to activate do not disturb based on specific kinds of calendar events. It’s annoying that there’s no native way to do this. This app is great using Shortcuts to do this very task. Recommended!

    Developer Response

    Thank you for using Mind the Focus, it is great to see that you find the app useful, mdlondon!
  • Free Tier?

    2024.05.15 - Just downloaded today and eager to see if it works as expected/hoped. $3.99 isn’t too bad, but would have been nice if there was a free tier to test drive it since we all know that doing anything with Apple Shortcuts is a pain. Will update this review at a future date.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your feedback and for giving the app a try! I understand the desire for a trial version; however, due to the one-time purchase pricing model, a trial option isn't feasible. Similarly, offering a free tier would require additional features or limitations to incentivize upgrades, which might complicate the user experience. I hope you find value in the app and appreciate your understanding. Should you have any suggestions or need assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at dpfuerst@gmail.com.
