HeyDockHeyDock asks for a permission only when you turn on something that needs it, and explains why first. Everything it reads stays on your Mac. See them all in Settings › Permissions.
| Permission | Used for |
|---|---|
| Accessibility | Window titles for sorting, app badges, minimized windows and Word Count |
| Full Disk Access | Holding messages from other modes’ apps and popping up the urgent ones |
| Screen Recording | Small pictures of windows for window previews |
| Calendars | Your next event, for the Next Event widget |
| Reminders | What’s due today, for the Reminders widget |
Without them
HeyDock works without any of these: the dock, modes, Focus and the gate for apps all work. Without Accessibility it sorts by app rather than window title.
Turning one off
Turn the permission off in System Settings › Privacy & Security. The feature that needed it stops; the rest carries on.
