Recognized
The connected work forms a qualifying block for the current goal.
MacBook notch distraction alerts
Catch distraction while returning is still easy
Tyze Live Focus keeps the active goal near the MacBook notch and surfaces a move away from connected work before a short detour disappears into the day.
One quiet surface
The notch follows the state of the work
It stays compact when work is on track and becomes more noticeable only when the session needs a decision.
Focused
Live Focus keeps the goal visible without becoming another dashboard.
Drifting
Away activity changes the state while returning is still a small choice.
Ready to review
End, save, or correct the session instead of accepting a hidden record.
What the demo shows
Context, drift, response, and recovery
Google Docs belongs to the goal
The work signal is connected before the session, so the Mac has useful context.
The active work moves to YouTube
The change matters because YouTube does not match this goal at that moment.
Live Focus changes in the notch
The signal stays direct and visible instead of sending a generic notification.
The user can return before the detour grows
The final session can preserve the work and still reflect the away time.
Awareness, not lockdown
A drift alert solves a different problem from a blocker
Some websites are both useful and distracting. Live Focus preserves choice, makes the change visible, and keeps the session record honest without pretending every detour should be blocked.
Helpful when context changes
A browser can hold research, work, and distraction. The goal connection gives the signal meaning beyond a simple app switch.
Useful after the moment too
Logged and focused time stay separate, so the calendar preserves the work while the focus result preserves what happened inside it.
Questions
Before you put focus in the notch
Is Tyze a MacBook notch timer?
Live Focus can show the current goal and session state near the notch, but the distinctive workflow does not require you to start a countdown. It can follow a work block Tyze recognized from connected goal signals.
What does the notch do when I get distracted?
When activity moves away from the connected goal, Live Focus can change state and make the drift visible. If you return, the session can continue while the away time remains part of the focus result.
Does Tyze block the distracting Mac app or website?
No. Live Focus is an awareness and session-control surface, not a universal Mac blocker. It helps you notice the change and keeps the final record honest.
Does Live Focus work on a Mac without a camera notch?
Yes. The compact surface can use the menu-bar area so the current session remains available on other Mac displays.
