Platform-Specific Examples

macOS Configuration

Rune automatically manages Focus mode on macOS via the Shortcuts app. DND is enabled on rune start and disabled on rune stop when shortcuts are configured.

Linux

On Linux, Rune uses notify-send for notifications and dunstctl or makoctl for DND control. Run rune debug notifications to check your setup.

Windows

On Windows, Rune uses PowerShell for notifications and Focus Assist for DND management. Run rune debug notifications to verify your configuration.
