Focus trigger not firing when Focus is off (Trypa v1.8.3 on macOS) — any fix?

Hey folks,

Running Trypa v1.8.3 on macOS 15.6, and the Focus Detection trigger does not work when Reading Focus turns off. Anyone else run into this or found a workaround? I’m trying to run a "Reading Off" shortcut as soon as "Reading" Focus ends. Thanks

I have set Focus Name to Reading, but it does not work...

Here it shows that It is turned on:

the polling XML shows this, but it does not run any Shortcut:

<trigger>
<status>.alarmNotSounding</status>
<triggerName>Reading Focus is off</status>
<triggerSerial>26998788751934462821</triggerSerial>
<triggerType>Focus Mode</triggerType>
<triggerClass>Disconnected</triggerClass>
</trigger>

I’m using macOS Sequoia 15.6,

Shortery can detect when any focus mode is completely turned off,

As shown in my XML, the Focus is off detection occurs, but no Shortcut is triggered. Could be I am misunderstanding the XML

Hi assume you mean Trypa, I will ask the team to have a look, if the xml is showing it then should be possible.

Hi Archer,

There is a problem with the focus filters prior to MacOS 26 Tahoe, it generally needs you to choose a new filter to log the change instead of just turning it off. So instead of turning it off, try changing it to a new one, like Personal. It's not ideal, but a lot of focus filter code and shortcut code has been re-written in Tahoe so should be more robust in the future. Let me know if this helps.
