# Focus Adjust your app’s behavior and filter incoming notifications when the current Focus changes. ## Overview  People use Focus on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS to minimize distractions. For example, someone might use a Work Focus to hide notifications from personal email or message accounts. When someone engages a Focus, the system executes your app’s custom [`SetFocusFilterIntent`](/documentation/AppIntents/SetFocusFilterIntent). Define a version of this intent to update your app’s configuration and filter incoming notifications. > Related sessions from WWDC22: > Session 10121: [Meet Focus filters](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2022/10121). ## Topics ### Focus filters [`SetFocusFilterIntent`](/documentation/AppIntents/SetFocusFilterIntent) An interface for providing an app intent that you use to adapt your app’s behavior when Focus changes.
