Focus Modes#

DockFlow adds a Focus filter to macOS. When a Focus turns on, it can apply a DockFlow preset. For example, turn on your Work Focus and your Work Dock appears.

Set it up#

  1. Open System Settings → Focus
  2. Choose a Focus, for example Work
  3. Under Focus Filters, click Add Filter
  4. Choose DockFlow
  5. Under Dock Preset, choose the preset to apply when this Focus turns on
  6. Click Add

The filter shows as Apply followed by the preset name.

How it works#

  • When the Focus turns on, DockFlow applies the chosen preset.
  • When the Focus turns off, nothing changes. Your Dock keeps the preset until you switch again.
  • Presets are matched by name. If you rename or delete the preset, edit the Focus filter and choose it again.

DockFlow applies the preset itself, so keep DockFlow running. Turning on Launch at login in General Settings helps.

If the preset list in the filter is empty, open DockFlow once so it can share your current presets with macOS.

Focus filter activity is included in the log export. See Diagnostics.
