Permissions and data

What it asks for.

AccessibilityOptional. Used to keep the pointer still while you slide an edge and to send keyboard or window actions. Brightness, volume, media, and many surface actions work without it.
Data collectionNo analytics or telemetry in the app. Settings and scenes are stored locally on your Mac.
Network useThe update check is the app's only network request.
GatekeeperThe DMG is signed with a Developer ID and notarized by Apple, so it opens without a warning.
Limits

What it is not.

A short list, because a fact sheet that only lists strengths is marketing.

  • Not a scripting platform, an automation language, or a replacement for Hammerspoon.
  • Not a keyboard remapper.
  • Not a mouse-button remapper: it does not emulate a middle click.
  • Not a full window manager. It has window actions, not window layouts.
  • Not a Stream Deck or gamepad tool.
  • Not the TrackStudio issue-tracking platform at trackstudio.com, n-Track Studio, Track Studio audio software, or a DAW.
