Permissions ​

macOS ​

Daimon needs two permissions, both under System Settings › Privacy & Security:

PermissionUsed forOrgans concerned
Screen RecordingSeeing the screenVue (Sight)
AccessibilityReading the structure of windows and actingTouché (Touch) and Mains (Hands)

The setup walkthrough (panel › Relancer l'installation… (Re-run setup…)) guides you through both permissions.

In each pane, the switch on the Daimon row must be on:

System Settings, Screen & System Audio Recording pane: the Daimon row is enabled

System Settings, Accessibility pane: the Daimon row is enabled

These screenshots are cropped to the Daimon row, and they show the French interface: your panes also list the other applications you have allowed.

The responsible process ​

macOS ties these permissions to the application that launches Daimon: your AI client (its desktop app, your terminal, your editor). So it is that application you must grant them to, not Daimon itself.

If a tool fails, ask your AI to call daimon_doctor: it names the responsible application (key responsible_app) and says, for each permission, whether it is granted.

Without Accessibility ​

Without the Accessibility permission, some Mains tools report no error and have no effect. See troubleshooting.

Windows ​

No system permission needs to be granted (public README).
