Enough with the notifications! Focus Assist will shut them u… 'But I'm too important!'

I don't get the issue here. Set focus to Do Not Disturb. 95% of apps are well behaved enough to listen to this. For the 5% that aren't, System Preferences > Notifications > {select misbehaving app} > Uncheck Allow Notifications.

You can also choose (globally or per (misbehaving) app) whether to;

- have notifications popup and disappear without stealing focus,

- popup and remain until dismissed,

- not popup at all but be visible in Notification Centre when you click it, or

- not do anything at all.

If anything, the problem on MacOS is too MANY options to control notifications.
