how to turn off MacOS notifications about "Do not disturb is on"? (AI answer is wrong)

[MareLuce]

I want to turn off MacOS notifications about "Do not disturb is on"?

ClaudeAI said I should

1. System Settings > Notifications
2. Scroll down to "Focus" in the app list
3. Turn off "Allow Notifications" for the Focus app itself

But in my app list under "System Settings" --> Notifications, I do NOT have an App called "Focus". Do you?

Am running Sequoia 15.5 ( V.Latest I believe)

I couldn't find anything extremely solid, but o4-mini, Claude 4, and Gemini all seem to agree this might help:

Turn on “Focus” Silently via Automation​

If you’re using macOS Monterey or later (where “Do Not Disturb” became part of “Focus”), the message “Do Not Disturb is On” often appears when the mode is activated manually. You can automate this without a notification.

Steps:​

1. Open System Settings → Focus → Do Not Disturb.
2. Click Add Schedule.
3. Set a custom schedule (e.g., 10 PM – 7 AM).
4. Toggle “Allow Time Sensitive Notifications” off.
5. Enable “Share Across Devices” if you want to sync it.
6. Exit settings. This will activate Do Not Disturb quietly at the scheduled time, avoiding manual toggle alerts.

Let us know if it works.

Here is how to setup a focus - think “work mode” not “app” - includes the notification toggle.

I bet this is going to work.

I had a schedule set up but for some reason it was toggled off
