I am trying to create a focus so that I can play Spotify, or similar with no notification sounds of any kind. I tried Do Not Disturb but Discord still pings. I created this focus, first with "allow some apps" and only allowing Spotify (but it does not appear in the list of available apps), so instead I switched to "Silence Some Apps" and added Discord, Messages, and Telegram. All of the apps still send notification sounds.
I had previously made a Focus that had Allow Some Apps, but no apps were added, this Focus still allowed notification sounds. I have tried sleep focus.
I followed the steps on the support page with no luck. How do I silence notifications on my Mac?
ETA: I even went into Notifications in the settings menu and turned off sounds for the apps I am trying to silence and am still getting sounds.
Sorry for being this late to the party, it’s a bug in discord: they ignore focus mode. I shoot them a bug report with video evidence and even how to fix that in their electron config (that’s pretty easy to do), they answered saying that has been noted and all but can’t give an estimate…
Hopefully it will be fixed between them adding two useless new features that nobody want!
