Steam, for example, likes to offer an overlay on top of games it needs accessibility access to do that. It prevents sketchy things from happening, like games you’ve downloaded logging your keystrokes or malware clicking buttons in your browser.īut some applications need to control other applications to offer particular features. So why do you have to do this? The answer, in short, is to protect your security.īy default, Mac apps are self-contained, and can’t change the way you interact with the system or other applications. From there you need to click the lock icon in the bottom-left corner, enter you password, and only then can you grant your application access. You need to open System Preferences, then head to Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility.
The process of enabling Accessibility Settings is a bit convoluted.
