more I've been wanting a way to trigger focus modes based on calendar events. And thanks to this app, my focus modes are now automated based on my calendar events! Great app and great devloper!

I just set up triggers to set up my office lighing when I unlock my laptop in the office, it also launches lightroom when I plug my SD cards in. This is genius!
