Terminal Permissions

Info If you don't see Terminal in the list of apps, you can add it by clicking the "+" button under the list and selecting Terminal from Applications -> Utilities.

Info If there's no "+" button, you might have to skip this for now. You can revisit this after you run the macro, as Terminal might show up.

Note that Automation doesn't have the "+" button — if you don't see Terminal in that category, add it after you run the macro.

Enable Terminal for these categories:

  • Full Disk Access (lets macro access other macro files)
  • Accessibility (lets macro send keypresses)
  • Screen Recording (lets macro read the screen)
  • Input Monitoring (lets macro detect keypresses)

If Terminal does not show up there, it should appear after running the macro.

Warning NOTE: On older macOS versions, some of these categories may not show up, which is normal.
