Generate names for a custom Do Not Disturb or focus mode on your phone: blunt labels like Locked In and Out of Office, funny ones like Touch Grass and Trapped Under Cat, soft lowercase ones like quiet hours, and plain useful ones like Deep Work, Gym and Date Night.

About Do Not Disturb names

A custom Do Not Disturb or focus mode needs a label, and that label does two jobs. It tells you at a glance which set of rules is switched on, and it is the word you see whenever you switch the mode on. That makes it part setting and part note to yourself, which is why so many people skip the default and type something of their own.

The list covers both jobs. Plain labels such as Study, Gym, Driving, Bedtime and Family Dinner are the ones you can find fast in a menu. Blunt status lines such as Locked In, Out of Office, Heads Down and Emergencies Only say why you are quiet. Funny labels (Touch Grass, Hermit Mode, Social Battery Dead, Trapped Under Cat) turn silence into a joke, and the lowercase set (quiet hours, slow morning, soft focus, tea and silence) suits a matching home screen. There are also groups for sleep, deep work, time with people and hobbies.

Every entry is kept short, because a long label is usually cut off wherever the phone shows it. If you run several modes, name them as a set so they read well side by side.

How to choose Do Not Disturb names

Name the mode after what you are doing, not what is blocked. Deep Work or Leg Day tells you which one to tap; No Notifications could be any of them.
Keep it to one to three words. Labels are shown in small spaces, so check how yours looks once it is saved and shorten it if it is cut off.
The label may show on your own screen while the mode is on, so pick one you are happy for anyone glancing at your phone to read. Save Leave Me Alone for a phone that stays in your pocket.
Build a matching set. Four lowercase labels such as slow morning, soft focus, quiet hours and low tide look tidier together than a mix of styles.
Pair each label with one clear rule, such as who may still get through. Emergencies Only and Family Only work because the name is the rule.

Frequently asked questions

What are good names for a Do Not Disturb mode?

Short and specific works best. Locked In, Heads Down and Deep Work suit a work or study mode, Beauty Sleep and Lights Out suit a night mode, and Touch Grass or Off the Grid suit a break from the screen. All of those are in the list, along with plain ones like Gym and Driving.

Can I use these for focus modes on any phone?

Yes. They are plain text labels, so they work anywhere a phone or watch lets you name a custom focus, quiet or Do Not Disturb mode. How many characters fit and where the label is shown depend on your device and its settings, so check after you save it.

What are some funny Do Not Disturb names?

Try Hermit Mode, Goblin Mode, Blanket Burrito, Social Battery Dead, Send a Carrier Pigeon, Error 404 or Trapped Under Cat. The joke works best when it still says something true about why you are not answering.

How many focus modes should I set up?

Most people only keep up with three or four: one for work or study, one for sleep, one for driving or exercise and one for time with family or friends. Give each a label that is easy to tell apart in a menu, such as Study, Bedtime, Driving and Dinner Table.
