When we need to specify something important, it is more than likely that we will start receiving emails, phone calls, messages through messaging applications ... The Do Not Disturb mode that macOS offers us through the Notification Center is fantastic if we want our Mac to stop making sounds with each new notification.
But it does not work as it really should, since if we do not hide our Dock, the number of notifications in the form of balloons begins to accumulate in the corresponding applications, which will always attract our attention whether we want to or not, and therefore the actual work this function should do is medium.
Fortunately, developers have a lot of imagination and thanks to the small Undisturbed application this small, or big, problem for a few, has a more than simple solution. Once we have installed Undisturbed, we can activate it so that it automatically begins to perform its work, a job that consists of in addition to activating the Do not disturb mode, it ensures that the applications that receive notifications do not show any icon with the number that is accumulated at that time, in this way if we are watching a movie, for example, we are not thinking about whether it was the boss who sent us the mail because he has some pressing need at that moment.
Undisturbed does not eliminate the notifications itself, but only temporarily hides the balloon that indicates the number that we have yet to read. So if we deactivate this mode, all the balloons will automatically begin to be shown with their corresponding number so that we can consult them once the task that did not allow us to be disturbed has finished. Undisturbed is a small free app that we can download through the following link.
