If the toggle is on but it still doesn't work

macOS sometimes invalidates Accessibility permission silently — most often when an app has been updated, replaced, or moved. The fix is to turn the toggle off and back on:

1. Toggle BlurBox offYou may be prompted to confirm.

   

2. Toggle it back onThis forces macOS to re-establish the permission. It should immediately work.

If toggling doesn't fix it

The nuclear option: remove BlurBox from the list entirely, then re-add it.

1. Quit BlurBoxClick the menu bar icon and choose Quit BlurBox.
2. Select BlurBox in the Accessibility listClick the row.
3. Click the − button to remove it
4. Reopen BlurBoxFrom Applications. It will request Accessibility permission as if it were a fresh install. Approve it.
