Step 2: Grant permissions​

  1. Open LinguaX Settings and tick Permission: Accessibility and Permission: Input Monitoring.
  2. macOS opens the matching System Settings pane automatically — toggle LinguaX on there.
  3. Return to LinguaX; both rows stay checked.

Permissions are required for reliable app/domain detection and automation.
