I’d like to do some things in my mac app when a user starts using another app or the Finder and my app isn’t in focus anymore.
How do I do that?

You can observe the
NSApplicationDidResignActiveNotificationto find out when you aren’t the active application anymore. This and related notifications are documented in the NSApplication Class Reference.If you don’t know how to observe notifications, you will want to read Notification Programming Topics.
