What it does

macOS Accessibility permission allows Vantic IQ to observe which applications are active and when. That is the complete scope. It does not allow Vantic to read the content of those applications, see what is on your screen, intercept keystrokes, access files, or take screenshots. Those capabilities are not enabled by Accessibility access and Vantic IQ does not use them.

​
Granting access

When you launch Vantic IQ for the first time, macOS displays a system prompt requesting Accessibility permission. Click Allow. If you dismissed the prompt or need to grant access manually:
1

Open System Settings

Go to Apple menu → System Settings.
2

Navigate to Privacy & Security

Select Privacy & Security from the sidebar, then scroll to Accessibility.
3

Enable Vantic IQ

Find Vantic IQ in the list and toggle it on. You may need to enter your Mac password to confirm.
Vantic IQ cannot observe workflow signals without Accessibility permission. The application will wait at the permission screen and will not proceed without it. There is no skip path.

​
Revoking access

Revoke Accessibility permission at any time from System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. Toggling Vantic IQ off immediately stops all observation. Previously collected data remains in your account until you delete it via the Privacy Hub.

​
Auto-excluded applications

Regardless of your Accessibility permission settings, the following are permanently excluded from observation and cannot be re-included:
  • Password managers (1Password, Bitwarden, LastPass, macOS Keychain)
  • Banking applications
  • macOS system credential prompts and dialogs
