Mute

A command-line utility to enable or disable "Do Not Disturb" on macOS

Motivation

I want to automatically toggle "Do Not Disturb" at multiple times during the day. macOS' System Preferences does provide for this. I can couple this with user agents via launchd.

Also I wanted to try to do something with swift. It's pretty cool, but Core Foundation isn't.

Install

Given that I don't know anything about code signing, packaging, nor distribution of a macOS app, you're going to have to:

1. Install XCode, etc.

2. Clone this repo and navigate to your working copy

3. Run this to build:

   $ swift build -c release -Xswiftc -static-stdlib

4. Copy resulting .build/release/mute to somewhere in your $PATH, e.g.:

   $ cp .build/release/mute /usr/local/bin/

Usage

Enable "Do Not Disturb"

$ mute

Disable "Do Not Disturb"

$ mute off

Prior Art

• Building a command line tool using the Swift Package Manager
• Is it possible to turn on/off "do not disturb" for OS X programmatically?
