Hi, I’m trying to create a Keyboard Maestro workflow to start a focus session. I use focus sessions a lot, but it takes about 10 clicks and needing to wait for all the animations etc. to start one, which is just unnecessarily cruel.
I tried using Keyboard Maestro to start a session for me, but all the buttons keep moving around randomly, so I can’t just use mouse location to hit the necessary buttons. Didn’t find any Shortcut shortcuts to do this either. Has anyone built something for RescueTime and how did you do it?
No, wait, obviously I can set Keyboard Maestro to start moving the mouse from one of the corners of the active window, which in this case is RescueTime. Still not super elegant, but think I can make this work like this.
Edit: Didn’t work. RescueTime isn’t considered a window I guess. Anyways, managed to do it by just finding the Start session icon with Keyboard Maestro’s Find Image -feature and then I can work onwards from there.
Any update on this? It’s really important to me an I think really beneficial in general to make focus session as easy as possible without any extra steps. I can’t figure out why you won’t put all screens for focus session to settings or at least give an option (remember next time)

A while back I developed an extension for Raycast that could easily start a RescueTime focus session: Raycast Store: RescueTime Focus Session Trigger
I stopped using RescueTime for enterprise reasons, however I just came back today. If the extension doesn’t work anymore I may be able to devote some time to update it.
