HELP / PERMISSIONS

Two permissions. Clear purpose.

macOS asks you to approve remote input and pointer control separately. CouchCursor guides you to both settings.

Input Monitoring

Lets CouchCursor receive button presses and touch gestures from your Siri Remote.

  1. Open System Settings › Privacy & Security › Input Monitoring.

  3. Reopen the app if macOS asks you to.
