Notifications are great when you need them, and terrible when you don’t. Here’s how to turn off all notifications temporarily, and configure which apps and websites can show them otherwise.
Disable All Notifications Temporarily with Do Not Disturb
The Do Not Disturb feature prevents you from seeing notifications or receiving phone calls while it’s active.
To turn it on, open up the Notification Center by clicking the icon at top-left, then scroll up to reveal two hidden options. Like this:
Toggle the “Do Not Disturb” switch and you won’t see any notifications until tomorrow morning. That was easy, but what if you want to do this automatically most days? You can do that by setting Do Not Disturb to a schedule.
Head to System Preferences > Notifications.
The first thing you’ll see are the Do Not Disturb settings. Select the “From” option, and then set the times you want Do Not Disturb to be active. The default times turn Do Not Disturb on overnight, but you can set any time period you want.
You can set Do Not Disturb to turn on when your display is asleep, or when you’re mirroring to external displays like TVs or projectors. And, you can set your Mac to allow phone calls (or repeated calls from anyone during a three minute period) while Do Not Disturb is on. That way, you’re just disabling notifications.
