app.reveal(pane) // Open the preference pane
// Useful way of inspecting the UI hierarchy of an open app:
// Application("System Events").applicationProcesses.byName("System Preferences").entireContents()
const ui = Application("System Events").applicationProcesses.byName("System Preferences").windows.byName("Notifications & Focus").tabGroups.at(0)
delay(0.5) // Ensure the UI has loaded
const rows = ui.scrollAreas.at(0).tables.at(0).rows()
rows.forEach(row => {
let name = row.uiElements.at(0).staticTexts.name()
if (name == focus) {
row.select() // Select the focus mode, if found...
ui.groups.at(0).checkboxes.at(0).click() // ... and toggle the switch
}
})
app.quit()
}
toggleFocus("Do Not Disturb") // Or whichever you like
