MacModes

Switch your Mac in seconds between work, gaming and private

Visit

I use the same Mac for work, for gaming and for my personal stuff, and I kept getting distracted. Steam open while I'm working, Slack pinging me in the middle of a game. So I built MacModes. It switches your whole Mac in seconds so you stay focused on what you're doing.

Work mode opens your work apps on the right desktops and nothing else. Game mode closes or pauses Slack, email and everything you don't need. Private mode opens a private browser window, hides your work apps and can ask for Touch ID first. One click back to Home and your apps, windows and Chrome tabs are right where you left them.

$9.99 one time for 2 Macs, with a 7 day free trial. English and Spanish. macOS 26 or later.

I use the same Mac for work, for gaming and for my personal stuff, and I kept getting distracted. Steam open while I'm working, Slack pinging me in the middle of a game. And switching meant closing 10 apps, then spending 10 minutes the next morning putting every window back on the right desktop. So I built MacModes. It switches my whole Mac in seconds. Work mode opens my work apps where they belong and nothing else. Game mode closes or pauses Slack, email and everything I don't need, so I'm just playing. Private mode opens a private browser window, hides my work apps, and can ask for Touch ID first. One click back to Home and all my apps, windows and Chrome tabs are right where I left them. It's $9.99 one time and there's a 7 day free trial. Would love to know if any app doesn't go back where it should, and what other modes you'd want.
