Accessibility
Required so the app can focus the selected app or window after you use the switcher shortcut.
Privacy
Local-first by design.
Window Switcher Pro needs macOS permissions to switch windows and show previews. It does not need an account system to do that work.
Screen Recording
Optional. Used for local window thumbnails. Switching continues to work when this permission is off.
Background Activity
Optional. Used when you choose to open the menu bar utility automatically at login.
