Why does Proximate need extra permissions in macOS?
Ian Spector
Last Update 4 days ago
There are several functions built into Proximate that rely on macOS features that Apple requires users to enable themselves.
Here's how we utilize each one:
- Accessibility: This permission is required for Proximate to determine when applications you are monitoring trigger a notification by using the macOS Accessibility API.
- Screen Recording: This permission is required for Proximate's Color Picker function and for any other macOS interaction that requires access to screen pixel data.
