macOS Installation and Permission Setup Guide

1. Permission Setup

DM NOTE requires two permissions to capture keyboard and mouse input:

Required Permissions

  1. Accessibility
  2. Input Monitoring

Setup Instructions

When you first run the app, the Accessibility permission popup will appear automatically.

Input Monitoring permission may not show a popup, so you need to set it up manually:

  1. Open System Settings
  2. Go to Privacy & Security
  3. Click Accessibility
    • Click the + icon to add DM NOTE.app
  4. Click Input Monitoring
    • Click the + icon to add DM NOTE.app

⚠️ Important: App Restart Required

After granting permissions, you must completely quit and restart DM NOTE for the permissions to take effect.

2. Issues on 1.6.1 or Earlier

Warning

Versions 1.6.1 and earlier were not signed with an Apple Developer ID or notarized.

This is caused by the macOS Gatekeeper security policy, and when a new version is installed macOS treats it as a different app, resetting the permissions. These issues are resolved in 2.0.0 and later, so we recommend using the latest version unless you have a specific reason not to.

2-1. "is damaged and can't be opened" Error After Installing

When you first run the app, you may see the following message:

"DM NOTE" is damaged and can't be opened.

Open Terminal and run the following command:

sudo xattr -cr /Applications/DM\ NOTE.app
  • Enter your macOS login password when prompted
  • Re-launch the app after running the command

2-2. Permissions Not Working After an Update

  • Key input is not captured even though permissions were previously granted
  • DM NOTE permission is already enabled in settings but not working

In this case you must remove and re-add the existing permissions:

  1. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security
  2. Open Accessibility
    • Select DM NOTE and click the - icon to remove it
  3. Open Input Monitoring
    • Select DM NOTE and click the - icon to remove it
  4. Completely quit DM NOTE
  5. Re-launch DM NOTE and follow the instructions in 1. Permission Setup to add permissions again
  6. Restart the app

Troubleshooting

Key Input Not Being Captured

  1. Verify both permissions (Accessibility + Input Monitoring) are enabled
  2. Completely quit and restart the app
  3. If you updated from 1.6.1 or earlier, see 2-2. Permissions Not Working After an Update above

App Won't Open

If you are on 1.6.1 or earlier, see 2-1. "is damaged and can't be opened" Error After Installing above
