> [!info] Creative Command lives in your menu bar > After downloading Creative Command from the [App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/creative-command/id6695729147?mt=12), the app will run quietly in the background and appear in your Mac’s **menu bar**. Look for the **Creative Command icon** near your Wi-Fi and battery indicators in the top-right corner of your screen. # Creating Presets To begin using Creative Command, you’ll first need to customize a preset. A Preset is a saved set of rules that defines: - Which [[Creating an App List|apps and websites]] should be allowed or blocked - The type of timer to use ([[Choosing a Timer|Standard or Engagement]]) Presets help you stay focused by making it easy to launch sessions with consistent settings, so you don't need to reconfigure every time. If you're a Creative Command Plus subscriber, you can create multiple presets for different types of work, like writing, studying, or deep focus. Once your Preset is ready, you can start a session [[Sessions On-Demand|instantly]] or [[Scheduling Sessions|schedule]] it to begin automatically. # Managing Your Presets **Click “Presets”** from the menu bar drop-down. ![[CleanShot 2026-07-14 at [email protected]]] Creative Command includes a default preset. If you’re using the **free version**, this will be the only preset available, but you can fully customize it. If you’re a Creative Command Plus user, you can add new presets by clicking the **plus icon (+)** or remove existing ones using the **minus icon (–)** at the bottom of the sidebar. All your presets appear in the sidebar on the left, each labeled with a name. Selecting a preset loads its settings on the right, where you can adjust the timer type, allowed apps and sites, engagement tracking, and more. You’ll also notice two icons near the top left of the window. These let you quickly switch between [[Creating Presets|Presets]] and [[Scheduling Sessions|Schedule]] view, where you can set up scheduled sessions to run your presets automatically. ![[CleanShot 2026-07-14 at 21.10.26@2x 1.png]] # Name Your Preset Choose a name that reflects the kind of work you’ll be doing, for example: **“Writing”**, **“Homework”**, or **“Boring Day Job”** You can also name your preset after a specific app or goal. For instance: - If you’re only allowing the **[Beat app](https://www.beat-app.fi)** , you might call it **“✍️ Beat”** - If you’re blocking a specific site like [**bsky.app**](https://bsky.app), you might call it **“🦋 Block Bsky”** Use whatever naming system helps you quickly recognize each preset’s purpose.
