Frequently Asked Questions
Why does MoveIt need Accessibility permission on macOS?
macOS only lets an app move the mouse pointer after you grant it Accessibility permission in System Settings. MoveIt uses this permission strictly to move the cursor — it never reads your screen, logs keystrokes, or collects any data. The full source code is public on GitHub.
Does MoveIt run natively on Apple Silicon (M1, M2, M3, M4)?
Yes. MoveIt ships as a native Apple Silicon (arm64) app, available as a direct DMG download or from the Mac App Store.
Does MoveIt change my Mac's energy settings?
No. Instead of overriding your sleep or display settings, MoveIt simply moves the mouse like a real user would. Your energy settings stay untouched, and everything returns to normal the moment MoveIt stops.
