Ever wanted to get more focused work done, but Mac's duration of 1 hour is not enough?
Do you turn Do Not Disturb on, but forget to turn it off?
With DND Me you can activate Do Not Disturb for a few hours, or in Pomodoro style, and work distraction free!

Hey, everyone! First of all, many thanks to @chrismessina for the hunt, I'm super grateful and excited about it 🥳 I'm Roland, a team-of-one trying to build great products. Being a developer, I need my focus times, but the built-in DND features of the Mac aren't really enough: you can turn it on for one hour and that's about it (and that's with multiple clicks and by waiting for multiple animations). Furthermore, seeing how long until it will turn off requires the same multiple-clicks-flow (not sure if Catalina even displays it). Another issue I had was turning DND on before/during a call, without a timer for calls I knew last longer than 1 hour, then I ended up forgetting to turn it off, missing other potentially important notifications. So I ended up building DND Me: a 2-clicks-method of enabling DND for a predefined duration (1–8 hours). In one of the 1.x versions I added Pomodoro style and in another one I added a 30 minutes options, both at the suggestion of its users. 2.0 came with Big Sur support, schedule detection and better detection of outside activation — if you manually turn DND on from Control Center (not sure why you'd do that anymore, though 😄) — and the time left for DND right next to the icon. I'm always open for feedback and suggestions, so if you have any, or any question, fire away. DND Me is free to try for 7 days and the attached promo code offers a 50% discount.
