Make your Mac distraction-free with a simple keystroke.
Laser Mode is a simple-as-hell Mac App made in Automator that does the following when you run it:
- Hides your Dock
- Hides your Menu Bar
- Sets Do Not Disturb mode to disable all notifications
- Hides Sticky Notes app, if it's running
- Hides Desktop icons (optional)
- Turns off Wi-Fi (optional)
It comes in a two flavours tailored to the level of focus you want to achieve:
- Laser Mode - my default, with everything mentioned above
- Focus Mode - everything in Laser, but does not toggle Desktop icons or WiFi. Good for working with files or doing research.
Because I found I work better when I don't see anything extra on my screen, and current apps were no good. For more details see the Medium post.
