Refined Permission Handling
Clearer Screen Recording and Accessibility prompts, with proactive checks before capture and analysis.
Captures are only as reliable as your OS permissions. We rebuilt Shotomatic's permission flow so it's clearer, proactive, and harder to miss.
What's Improved
- Unified permissions UI for Screen Recording + Accessibility
- Proactive checks before opening the capture source picker, custom area capture, or SERP analysis
- One-click System Settings links to the exact privacy pane you need
- Clearer permission errors when access is missing
- Live status updates after you grant access
Why It Matters
Screen Recording is required for capture, and Accessibility enables automated key presses. The new banner + dialog make that explicit, without interrupting your workflow more than necessary.
Update to Shotomatic v1.6.1 to get clearer permission checks and prompts.
