Not working on Big Sur and later

[a7madgamal]

Doesn't seem to have any effect although it reports everything is fine and status command reports the expected result (according to my usage)

Yep, same here. The program seems to have its own version of the Do Not Disturb status that is quite independent from the macOS system status.

has any one come up with an alternative solution? perhaps using applescript?

Probably related to the Big Sur / Monterey breakage in the underlying do-not-disturb module: https://github.com/sindresorhus/do-not-disturb/issues/9

There are workarounds over there, if you need them.

Not working on Monterey too

Is there a working alternative for Monterey?

Hey folks, this solution worked quite nicely for me: https://github.com/sindresorhus/do-not-disturb/issues/9#issuecomment-991956241

It's this repo: https://github.com/arodik/macos-focus-mode

It uses a MacOS shortcut but has a pretty nice CLI.

I will be replacing do-not-disturb-cli with it in my Pomodoro project: https://github.com/sprzedwojski/pymodoro
