Accessibility Permissions
Required Permissions
macOS requires accessibility permissions for window management. MacsyZones needs these permissions to snap windows to zones.
- 1. Open System Settings
- 2. Navigate to Privacy & Security → Accessibility
- 3. Find MacsyZones in the list and enable it
Without accessibility permissions, MacsyZones cannot manage windows. Make sure to grant this permission during first-time setup.
Permission Screenshots
If it keeps asking for permission, close MacsyZones, open Terminal and enter: sudo tccutil reset All MeowingCat.MacsyZones
