Download

• Go to this repository’s Releases page and download the latest .dmg installer.
• Choose the build that matches your Mac (Universal or Apple Silicon, if provided).

Install

1. Open the downloaded .dmg.
2. Drag Utilix to the Applications folder.

Required Permissions

Some utilities need macOS permissions:

• Accessibility: For desktop switching, shortcuts, and automation
• Screen Recording: For on‑device OCR (Mac Vision)

You can enable these in System Settings → Privacy & Security. Utilix also provides shortcuts to these pages from Preferences → Permissions.

• Mac Vision default shortcut: ⌥ + X (optional; can be disabled).

Privacy

Your data stays on your Mac. Clipboard history, snippets, notes, and preferences are stored locally. Utilix does not send your data to any server.
