Hi, this is unfortunately a known issue coming from the module we use to take care of that. We are waiting for them to merge a PR that will incorporate it and it will work after that. In the meantime, I think some people have it partially working with a very bad tweak: giving full access to the disk to Ferdium. This is not recommended, so you should only do it if you are aware of the risks and willing to take them (which would be similar to giving full access to a browser, are is thus vulnerable to attacks of that style).
I tried to give the app full disk access, but it doesn't work for me. The notification sound from whatsapp are still getting through.
@hnykda This isn't the same issue. When Mac Focus mode is on I want the Ferdium DND mode to activate.
Is there any progress on this?
Sorry, I just realised that the PR we were waiting for has been merged a while ago now. We're incorporating the changes and it should come soon.
@Alphrag I've installed Version: 6.5.0-nightly.19 and when I turn on Focus Mode in MacOS 13.5 it doesn't turn on DND in Ferdium. Should it?
@jimmylad thanks for trying that, I'll see if we can find what is the problem. Do you have any notifications (pop up and/or sound)?
So in the fixed version if I turn on Focus Mode in MacOS then Ferdium enters DND mode automatically, like it did at one time?

@jimmylad That should be the case. Once the nightly is out, if you could test it and let us know whether it works well or not, it would be great!
@Alphrag I've tested 6.7.5-nightly.9 and that doesn't work. But maybe that is because you reverted some code?

@jimmylad Argh, I feared that would be the case and that the previous change was not enough... I'll try to figure out how to make this work with notarization without the app breaking again, but I don't have a computer to test it on properly. If you're happy to run tests, please send me a message on Discord and we could try something there.
