Get help with TAKE. for macOS

System Requirements

TAKE. requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later. Microphone capture in recordings requires macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later.

Permissions

TAKE. needs the following macOS permissions to function:

• Screen Recording — required to capture your screen
• Camera — optional, for the camera overlay feature
• Microphone — optional, for voice recording

You can grant these in System Settings > Privacy & Security.

• tccutil reset ScreenCapture dev.take.app
• tccutil reset Camera dev.take.app
• tccutil reset Microphone dev.take.app
