August 19, 2025 (One Week Later, on a Tuesday)

Because Ben, Pat and Phil will all be away at Apple during the week of our normally scheduled meeting, we'll be postponing that meeting for a week. The August meeting will be set for Tuesday, August, 19 at 7:00 on Zoom.

Join us for this month’s meeting as we explore Apple Focus, a powerful feature built into macOS, iOS, and iPadOS that helps you take control of notifications and stay productive. We’ll explain how Focus works, clear up common misconceptions, and show you practical tips for customizing it across all your Apple devices. Focus modes can be tailored for almost any situation—create a Work Focus to silence personal notifications during office hours, a Personal Focus to hide work distractions in the evening, or a Sleep Focus that ensures you wind down without interruptions. You can even build custom Focus modes for activities like Fitness, Driving, or Travel.

By the end of the session, you’ll know how to sync Focus across devices, allow important contacts through, and take full advantage of this built-in feature to minimize distractions and boost your productivity. Don’t miss this opportunity to make your Apple devices work smarter for you!

Also, note that the September meeting may also be postponed one week as Phil will be on vacation the week of our normally scheduled meeting.
