Permissions on macOS

LinguaX depends on macOS permissions for accurate context detection and automation.

Common Symptoms​

  • input source does not switch after app change
  • domain rules are inconsistent in browsers
  • shortcut script actions fail on first run

LinguaX uses exactly two macOS permissions:

Required Permissions​

  • Accessibility (used for the mouse event tap, smooth scrolling, pointer speed, key simulation, and reading the front browser tab URL for website rules)
  • Input Monitoring (used for HID device management)

App-level input switching works without Accessibility; reading the browser URL for website (domain) rules requires Accessibility.

Required Checks​

  1. Open LinguaX permission status.
  2. Open macOS System Settings and verify requested permissions are enabled.
  3. Relaunch LinguaX after permission changes.

About Script Action Prompts​

When script actions control apps (for example System Events or Finder), macOS may ask for Automation permission.

Approve these prompts to enable those actions.

Recovery Flow​

  1. Quit LinguaX.
  2. Reopen LinguaX.
  3. Re-grant missing permissions.
  4. Test one app rule.
  5. Test one domain rule.
  6. If using script actions, run one template script again.

Post-Update Note​

Recent versions include storage architecture upgrades. On first launch after upgrade, migration may take extra time before all features behave normally.
