Maintenance release on top of 1.0.1, which moved Focus Browser onto Apple's supported Focus Filters API and dropped the Full Disk Access requirement.

Requirements (now enforced)

  • macOS 26.6 or later. Focus Filters are never delivered on earlier versions, so older systems installed the app and it silently did nothing. macOS will now refuse to launch it below 26.6 instead.
  • Install into /Applications. macOS only indexes App Intents there — from anywhere else, including ~/Applications, the filter never appears in Focus settings. The app warns you in its menu if it's in the wrong folder.

Changes

  • Enforce the macOS 26.6 minimum at launch
  • Restore the /Applications requirement to the README, which the install steps referred to
  • Supply the app icon in the Focus Filter's display representation

If the filter's row in Focus settings shows a blank icon, macOS has a stale icon cache from an earlier build; clear it with sudo rm -rf /Library/Caches/com.apple.iconservices.store && sudo killall -HUP iconservicesagent Dock.
