AppleScript Do Not Disturb on Mac?

macOS AppleScript
10

Hi @mgguinne thanks for sharing the post :+1:
You helped me a lot with this.

I use the Timing App via my Setapp subscription for time tracking and the Hey Focus app for DND mode (also web pages).

Under macOS Catalina I had these apps combined in Keyboard Maestro.
Among other things with the possibility to hide files and folders and also to mute the system sound.

To be able to work really trouble-free, I sent a notification (Pushcut App) from the Keyboard Maestro macro to my iOS devices to activate/deactivate an individual DND mode via a Siri shortcut.

Here is a video about workflow under macOS Catalina :point_down:

Thanks to you, I took the AppleScript from your linked post and finally got macOS Big Sur running.

Here is my Applescript for the workflow in the video:

set output to (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.controlcenter 'NSStatusItem Visible DoNotDisturb'")
if output is "0" then
	-- start focus pushcut
	tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
		do script "DCD39657-2E6E-442C-A8A3-94696FFD62B4"
		delay 0.2
	end tell
	
	open location "focus://focus" -- start focus
	
	delay 0.2
	-- start dnd
	tell application "System Events" to keystroke "z" using {command down, shift down, option down, control down}
	
	-- Hide Desktop Icon
	do shell script "chflags -h hidden ~/Desktop/*"
	
	tell application "System Events"
		set volume with output muted -- mute volume
	end tell
	do shell script "defaults write com.apple.controlcenter 'NSStatusItem Visible DoNotDisturb' 1"
else
	if output is "1" then
		-- stop focus pushcut
		tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
			do script "89440C73-D886-4C56-A598-55C88C5086E1"
		end tell
		-- stop dnd
		tell application "System Events" to keystroke "z" using {command down, shift down, option down, control down}
		
		-- Show Desktop Icon
		do shell script "chflags -h nohidden ~/Desktop/*"
		tell application "System Events"
			
			set volume without output muted -- unmute volume
		end tell
		do shell script "defaults write com.apple.controlcenter 'NSStatusItem Visible DoNotDisturb' 0"
		
		delay 0.2
		open location "focus://unfocus" -- stop focus
	end if
	
end if

What makes Pushcut very useful on iOS is the Automation Server, which allows me to have Siri perform shortcuts without picking up my iPhone.

Like in this example video for DND mode:
