The Mac V3 version is not working, I tried re-granting accessibility and nothing.

Hi everyone, this app is amazing, thank you for your hard effort I read about the accessibility issue in this version.

I remove & re-granting the app's accessibility permission with

System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Accessibility -> Select writing-tools and press the minus button -> Press the plus button and add writing-tools again and enable access to it.

I've tried removing and rebooting the Mac many times, then attempting to update macOS to Sequoia 15.3.1 and re-enabling accessibility, but the issue persists. The application failed to launch.

Is there an alternative solution?

Hi, are you using an Intel Mac? If yes, then there is an issue with v3 because of the integrated local LLM. I am working on v3.1 to disable it for Intel Macs so that the app no longer crashes.

Sorry, I didn't explain it is an Intel Mac! Thanks for the update.

No problem. I am sorry for the issue. I didn't have access to an Intel Mac to test it. The new version is now available on the release page. Could you please test it and see if the app works or not? I have added checks to it to prevent the local LLM stuff to be loaded when on an Intel Mac, which should theoretically fix the issue.

@Aryamirsepasi , I build the latest version locally, re-did the permissions again, I see all the options but when I click, lets say "Summary" after selecting bunch of text, the app does not return any response.

Permissions given -

• Accessibility
• Input Monitoring
• I even gave full disk access and remove it.

Please advise.

I have M1 Mac.

I am using ollama and this is the log information when I trigger the application from terminal.

Also please update README with "Permission needed" for future travellers.

Hi @CsBigDataHub, sorry about the issue. Currently the main branch is not updated to the last version. I'm working on it. If you want to build the app yourself, for the time being you can use macOS v3_1 Branch. However regarding your issue I am not sure what the problem is. Please try the 3.1 branch and let me know if the issue persists. Yes I have to update README file. It's been in the TODO List for far too long. 😅
