How is Ready different from Apple’s Focus?
Focus filters notifications. Ready changes what’s on your Mac — which apps are open or hidden, sound devices and volume, wallpaper, sleep — and puts it back afterwards. It can also start on its own when Zoom opens or a display is plugged in. Use both: Focus for notifications, Ready for the rest.
Does it really need no permissions?
Yes — no Accessibility, Screen Recording, Automation, Full Disk Access or Input Monitoring. To lock the screen, Ready uses a system login call; if a future macOS removes it, Ready sleeps the display instead, which locks when your Mac requires a password right after sleep. Wallpaper changes the current desktop on each display; other Spaces keep theirs.
What exactly does Restore put back?
Volume, sound devices, microphone mute, wallpaper and sleep return to how they were. Hidden apps come back as you left them; apps a mode quit reopen in the background (their windows and documents are up to the app). Apps a mode opened stay open, because they may hold your work.
Is Ready on the Mac App Store?
No. You download it from this site; it’s signed and notarized by Apple. Licenses are sold here, not through the App Store.
Does it run on Intel Macs?
Not yet. Ready needs a Mac with Apple silicon and macOS 14 Sonoma or later.
What happens when the 14-day trial ends?
Everything works during the trial. After 14 days, enter a license key to keep using Ready.
Which plan should I pick?
Standard covers 1 Mac, Pro 2 Macs (work + home) and Team 5 Macs. Every 1.x update is included.
How do I uninstall it? Does it leave anything behind?
Restore first if a mode is on, then quit Ready and move it to the Trash. Your modes, snapshots and journal live in ~/Library/Application Support/Ready — delete that folder for a clean removal. Ready installs no helpers or background services.
