Additional context N/A
I experienced the same issue and found a fix that worked for me:
When launching the app, macOS prompts for Screen and System Audio Recording permissions. Instead of simply toggling the Colorpicker permission, try this:
- Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Screen Recording (or open it with the previous prompted message).
- Select Colorpicker from the list and click the minus (-) button at the bottom to remove it.
- Reopen the Colorpicker app — it should prompt you again to grant permission and reappear in the list.
- Enable access again.
This resolved the issue on my end. Hope it helps!
thanks for the bug report! I'll check what I can do to fix this! Colorpicker isn't ready for the latest osx 15 with the new permissions requirement
