Applescript: Toggle Do Not Disturb mode

toggle-applescript-dnd. scpt

(* Note 1: The 1 after menu bar may need to be changed to 2 when using multiple monitors *)
(* Note 2: For 10.11 and newer “NotificationCenter” is now spelled “Notification Center”*)

tell application "System Events"
	tell application process "SystemUIServer"
		try
			if exists menu bar item "Notification Center, Do Not Disturb enabled" of menu bar 1 of application process "SystemUIServer" of application "System Events" then
				(* It is disabled *)
				display dialog "Notifications will be turned on" buttons {"Got it"} default button 1
				key down option
				click menu bar item "Notification Center, Do Not Disturb enabled" of menu bar 1
				key up option
			else
				(* It is enabled *)
				display dialog "Notifications will be turned off" buttons {"Got it"} default button 1
				key down option
				click menu bar item "Notification Center" of menu bar 1
				key up option
			end if
		on error
			key up option
		end try
	end tell
end tell

This doesn't seem to work on mojave for me. But it does work on high sierra.

On mojave with british spelling, Center needs to be replaced with Centre

Also , key down option seems to be ignored and the notification centre button on the menu bar gets clicked as if the option key was not down - and notification centre just gets opened, rather than do not disturb being toggled

If anyone has found a solution it would be great to hear about it

I got it fully working now on Catalina: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/419207/turn-do-not-disturb-on-or-off-in-an-applescript-app-macos-catalina/419213#419213
