UnDistracted For Mac

UnDistracted is a small macOS utility designed to help you stay focused on the task at hand. The app brings together a collection of settings that will keep distractions at bay and facilitates activating a “Focus Mode” that will make all the necessary adjustments without too much user interference.

Via the UnDistracted status bar menulet you can choose to hide the Dock, the menu bar, and the desktop icons, switch to the dark menu bar and dock, activate the “Do not Disturb” mode, and put the same status message on Skype and Adium.

The same menu enables you to toggle the activation of the “Focus Mode” that will dim out all the inactive app windows present on your Mac’s desktop. As a result, you will be able to focus on the task at hand, without being distracted by various bits of incoming information.

Via the UnDistracted Preferences you have the option to change the dimming background color and opacity level, to set the functions that you want to be enabled by default at startup, and personalize the system wide hotkey for activating the Focus mode.

At the same time, UnDistracted can either enable or disable certain settings, depending on the activation state of the Focus mode. The utility also provides support for using AppleScripts to deal with more complex tasks.

Bottom line, UnDistracted provides an alternative solution to keep distractions at bay by efficiently removing the elements on the screen that might contain them.

The best part is that UnDistracted also streamlines the configuration procedure and reduces the repetitive actions to a minimum. The AppleScript support opens the door to countless possibilities.
