Focus Mode Shortcuts

As mentioned earlier, when looking at how to run shortcuts through automations, Focus Modes allow you to run shortcuts entirely automatically in the background. Whether the trigger for the focus mode is location-based or time-based, or you enable it through a lock screen notification or Control Center, your automation will run! As focus modes sync across our devices (unless you disabled that in Settings or System Settings/System Preferences), when you turn on a focus mode on your Mac (running macOS Monterey or later), that will hand off the automation baton to all your devices—so your iPhone and iPad can take the reins.
