Set up permissions on macOS

Amnis needs a few macOS permissions to record, paste, and read app context correctly.

Updated Mar 19, 2026

What Amnis needs

  • Microphone for recording.
  • Accessibility for reliable auto-paste and focus restore.
  • Automation for app and browser context in supported flows.
  • Input Monitoring only for some shortcut choices.

What changes when one is missing

Amnis falls back safely when it can.

That can mean clipboard instead of auto-paste, or a different shortcut recommendation.

Quick fix

  • Use the onboarding prompt or the Settings reminder.
  • Turn the missing permission on in macOS System Settings.
  • Retry the action once the app regains focus.
