description: What Vimputer reads from macOS, and the permissions some actions need.
---

Vimputer reads your installed apps to fill the app pickers and to flag apps a
binding opens that have since been uninstalled. Nothing else needs permission
until you use one of these actions:

| Action | Needs |
| --- | --- |
| Menu command | Accessibility, to read an app's menus and press an item. If it's missing, the action editor shows **Grant**. |
| App command | Automation for the target app. macOS asks the first time it runs. |

Grant Accessibility in **System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility**.

All of these run through Vimputer, so the app has to be running for the binding
to work.
