With macOS Sequoia, Apple introduced a feature where users are asked to periodically approve access to apps in order to record their screen, which has not been very well received by some people, although there is now a solution (albeit third parties). .
From Apple's perspective, this measure was taken to improve security in apps like Zoom, where you can share your screen (or even screenshot utilities). Recurring permission requests for such apps started appearing early in macOS 15 beta testing, initially being introduced on a weekly basis, but then (after many complaints) Apple revised them to monthly requests.
And to be fair, I can still see these pop-ups being annoying, even monthly, and you might prefer not to see them at all (or just once, rather, when you use the app for the first time). Fortunately, there is now a solution that MacRumors seen in the form of an app called Amnesia.
Once installed, Amnesia can be used to stop monthly screen recording permission requests on an app-by-app basis. The software pays whatever it wants, so you can give the developer what you consider an appropriate payment for the convenience of the application.
There is another possible solution, but will Apple do something itself?
The original version of Amnesia was only for macOS 15, but since that release, support for macOS 15.1 (beta) has been introduced. You can consult the Amnesia one. change log (a record of updates made to the application) to see all recent software additions and tweaks.
Alternatively, if you're a little more technical, as MacRumors points out, you can also achieve the same result as Amnesia via the Terminal app by following instructions provided by technology blogger Jeff Johnson. As with Amnesia, this fix allows screen recording reminders to be disabled on an app-by-app basis.
I hope Apple considers reviewing this repetitive permission request. I'm not saying the company has to get rid of it completely, but maybe give macOS 15 users the option to switch to quarterly or bi-annual requests. I understand that Apple is trying to cover itself and its customers from a security perspective, but I think there's more here in terms of striking a balance that satisfies maintaining macOS as a secure environment, while bothering users less.
