How to create a Focus Filter

Apple introduced Focus filters in macOS Ventura, a feature that lets you customize app behavior, displaying only specific content like certain Mail accounts or Calendar views, depending on the active Focus.

In Raycast 1.92.0, we introduced a Focus filter for Raycast Focus which allows you to start a (Raycast) Focus session along with your system Focus.

Open System Preferences > Focus

Select the Focus you want to customize.

Can I complete my session when a Focus is switched off?

No, unfortunately Apple doesn’t provide any way to do an action when a Focus ends. For more advanced workflows, you can look into Shortcuts.

‣
Can I select individual apps and websites to block?

No, but you can create custom categories and should be able to select them for filtering.

‣
What macOS versions are supported for this feature?

You need macOS 13+ to create a Focus filter
