Setting Up Permissions
SupaSidebar requires Automation and Accessibility permissions for browser integration and shortcuts.
Automation
Automation permission allows SupaSidebar to interact with your browsers to save tabs, copy URLs, and detect the current page.
- Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Automation (open directly)
- Find SupaSidebar and enable checkboxes for all browsers you use
When you first use browser shortcuts, macOS will prompt for permission. Click OK to grant access.
Accessibility
Accessibility permission is required for copying text, mouse triggers, and interacting with browsers. Keyboard shortcuts that interact with browsers (like save page, copy URL, and open in another browser) also require this permission.
- Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility (open directly)
- Find SupaSidebar and enable the checkbox
If you grant a permission while SupaSidebar is running, quit and relaunch the app so it picks up the new permission.
If a browser shortcut doesn’t respond, check Accessibility permission first. SupaSidebar shows a note on shortcuts that require this permission in Preferences → Shortcuts.
Permissions stuck or not working?
If the toggle is on but shortcuts still fail, the prompt never appeared, or you see SupaSidebar listed twice, see Reset Permissions for reset commands and the standard fix sequence.
