Your setup
Permissions
What Findow asks macOS for, why, and how to fix a permission that won't stick.
Turn these on from the Permissions tab in Findow's Settings.
| Permission | What it's for | If you say no |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | Opening and moving windows, snapping, layouts, minimized windows and the mouse button | Findow can't do its main jobs |
| Screen Recording | Previews, and finding windows on other desktops | No previews, and no windows from other desktops |
| Automation | Reading browser tabs and Finder folders | Workflows still handle apps and windows |
Screen Recording
Nothing is recorded, and previews stay on your Mac. macOS applies this permission after Findow restarts, so Findow shows a Restart button.
Automation
Your browser may ask the first time you save a workflow with tabs, or when you turn on tabs in the switcher. macOS asks once for each browser.
If a permission won't stick
If Findow says to turn on a permission that's already on:
- Open System Settings > Privacy & Security.
- Remove Findow from the list.
- Add it again.
- Restart Findow.
