About

Download

• Choose the build that matches your Mac (Universal or Apple Silicon, if provided).

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.
