I'm cringing right now, because it seems like the authors weren't aware that this feature is already part of OS X.

We are absolutely aware, we don't like the "Do Not Disturb" function. It automatically comes back on in the morning and you can't set a timer. This is in response to our dislike of the DND switch.


> It automatically comes back on in the morning

There's an option to set the time you want it to remain on. You can set it throughout the night just fine and it won't come on in the morning.

> you can't set a timer

I can tell it to set do not disturb from 10:00am until 10:30am. I'm not sure what other kind of timer you'd want.

Maybe there are too many clicks or the interface is hidden?


I don't really see the added benefit of the timer.


You (don't have remember/will not forget/will not click the button twice) to turn notifications back on.

Hush looks great if you're using the Pomodoro technique. You don't have to remember to re-show notifications - they just reappear when it's break time.


Yup, this. Don't see any benefit other than more granular time controls which seems like overkill for a simple silence-or-show notifications switch.
