If you’ve upgraded your Mac to macOS 15, you’re probably familiar with the frustration of constant screen recording permission requests. Every month, you’re bombarded with prompts asking you to grant permission to apps that use screen recording features, like screen capturing or sharing in Slack. This repetitive process can be incredibly annoying.
Thankfully, a solution has emerged in the form of a third-party app called Amnesia. Developed by a software developer, this app allows you to tame those pesky permission requests by granting them on an app-by-app basis. This means you can say goodbye to the endless prompts and regain control over your screen recording permissions.
While Amnesia is still in its early stages, it’s already receiving positive reviews for its simplicity and effectiveness. The developer takes a unique approach to pricing, allowing users to pay what they feel is fair, even offering a free option. If you find the app helpful, consider supporting the developer by making a contribution.
The app has even been updated to support macOS 15.1, even though the official release is yet to arrive. This proactive update highlights the developer’s commitment to addressing user needs and staying ahead of the curve.
Given the widespread frustration surrounding these permission requests, it’s worth wondering if Apple might eventually address this issue officially in macOS 15. Perhaps a reduction in the frequency of these prompts, or even a more user-friendly permission system, could be on the horizon. Only time will tell if Apple will finally listen to the chorus of complaints from Mac users.
Until then, Amnesia offers a practical and user-friendly solution to this persistent problem. So, if you’re tired of those endless permission requests, consider giving Amnesia a try. You might just find it’s the app you’ve been waiting for.
