Required Permissions
Why We Need These Permissions
TabTabTab requires specific permissions to provide its core functionality. Here's why we need each one:
Screen Recording Permission
- Used to take screenshots in two specific moments:
- During "magic copy" when no text is selected
- During paste operations to understand context
- Screenshots are processed by our AI services
- Screenshots from copy operations are temporarily held in memory during your session
- All screenshots are cleared when the server restarts
- We never record videos or audio
Accessibility Permission
- Required for keyboard shortcut detection
- Used to identify which application you're using and understand its context
- Used to simulate keyboard input for creating natural typing effects during paste operations
