Permissions Aldoo Snap needs
1 min
Last updated on:
The first time you capture something, macOS will ask you to grant a few permissions. Aldoo Snap can't record your screen, camera, or microphone without them.
Permissions and what they unlock
- Screen Recording — required for any screenshot or video capture.
- Camera — required for the camera bubble, standalone camera recording, and Photo Booth.
- Microphone — required to record audio notes or system/mic audio with a video.
- Accessibility — lets Aldoo Snap bring a specific window to the front so you can pick exact windows for window capture.
If a permission is missing
If Screen Recording isn't enabled, Aldoo Snap shows an alert with the exact steps: open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording, enable AldooSnap, then relaunch the app when macOS asks. You can review and grant every permission at once from Options → Permissions.
