Timerfly

Why does the Mac app ask for permissions?

macOS asks you to allow two things. Accessibility lets Timerfly see which app is in use; Screen Recording lets it read website addresses and window titles, and take screenshots if your company uses them.

  1. 1In the Timerfly app, click the gear icon to open its settings.
  2. 2Under Permissions, click Allow next to Accessibility, and switch Timerfly on in the window macOS opens.
  3. 3Do the same for Screen Recording.
  4. 4Timerfly restarts itself once so macOS applies it.
The desktop app’s settings, with the two permissions
The desktop app’s settings, with the two permissions — click to open it full size.

Until both are allowed, the app says “Permissions missing — sites and window titles aren’t being tracked.”
