• Accessibility blocks shortcuts such as the app switcher and Spotlight while locked. The keys are dropped, not recorded. It also lets your iPhone move the pointer and type (Pro).
• Camera is used only if you turn on Take a photo after a wrong passcode. Off by default.
• Bluetooth and the local network let the Mac talk to your paired iPhone.

No. It does not ask for Screen Recording. If your wallpaper sets light or dark controls, the app reads the wallpaper file, not the screen.

Open System Settings › Privacy & Security › Accessibility, remove the StillRun entry with the minus button, add the app again, then quit and reopen it. Grants are tied to the app's code signature, so a copy signed differently looks like a new app to macOS.

In System Settings › Privacy & Security, switch StillRun off under Accessibility or Camera. The app cannot reset them itself.

Tap Forgot PIN? on the lock screen (PIN mode) and type the recovery code you were shown at setup. If you lost that too, lock macOS with ⌃⌘Q and log in. StillRun lets go as soon as macOS reports a real unlock. You can then set a new passcode in Settings.

After several wrong passcodes it adds an escalating delay, so a short PIN cannot be guessed quickly.

No. The lock does not log you out, sleep the Mac or pause background processes. To keep a Mac awake while agents work, use keep-awake from the menu bar.

Without Accessibility, some shortcuts get through. With it, a few macOS-reserved ones still can. Use the macOS lock if that matters.

If you turned the option on, the Mac takes one photo after every wrong passcode, using the camera you picked. It stays in a folder on your Mac. With Pro and a paired iPhone, a smaller copy also goes to that iPhone, encrypted over the direct link, and nowhere else. See the privacy policy.

Settings › Lock Screen › Privacy shows the latest ones and the folder path. Deleting the files from that folder removes them. Delete StillRun… in Settings › General removes all of them along with your passcode and settings. Lower Photos to keep to keep fewer.

The built-in camera can't see with the lid shut. Pick an external webcam in the Camera menu.

On the Mac: menu bar icon › Pair iPhone…, then confirm with Touch ID or your Mac password. On the iPhone: Pair with Mac, scan the QR code, check that the six digits match on both screens, then confirm with Face ID. The code expires after five minutes.

Check that Bluetooth is on for both, that both are on the same Wi-Fi network (not a guest or isolated network), and that you allowed Local Network on the iPhone. The Mac app must be running. If it still fails, unpair on both sides and pair again.

No. There is no account and no cloud relay. Only the single paired iPhone can talk to the Mac, over Bluetooth or the same local network. Cellular is not used.

Lock and unlock it (unlock only over Bluetooth, only with Face ID, only when the phone is close), change the volume, dim the display, answer agent approvals and cancel keep-awake. Pointer, keyboard, Open on Mac and websites are refused while locked.

Unlocking needs Pro, Bluetooth, a paired iPhone close to the Mac and a Face ID scan. A change in Face ID enrollment removes the unlock key: after you re-enroll your face, unpair and pair again.

It uses Bluetooth signal strength, which varies with bodies, bags and walls. Use Set Lock Spot to calibrate, or pick a different distance. It can only lock, never unlock.

Mac: Settings › iPhone › Forget All…, or unpair one device. iPhone: Unpair in Settings.

It adds StillRun's own entries to Claude Code's settings.json and Codex's hooks.json after saving a backup next to the file. Disconnect removes only those entries. Nothing changes before you press Connect.

Approving from the phone needs Pro, a paired and reachable iPhone, and Send approval requests to iPhone turned on. If anything fails or times out, the agent shows its own prompt in the terminal; nothing is ever approved on its own. Codex also needs the new hooks trusted once in /hooks.

In the Mac build downloaded from the website (Pro), keeping the Mac awake with the lid closed needs a small helper that runs as root and can only switch macOS's disablesleep setting on and off. You approve it once in System Settings › General › Login Items. It restores normal sleep when the app quits or crashes. This is the only part of the app that runs as root, and it is optional.

A one-time purchase shared by the Mac and iPhone apps, with a free 7-day trial you start yourself. Nothing is charged when the trial ends. It is not a subscription.

The App Store versions update through the App Store. The Mac build downloaded from the website checks once a day and asks before installing; check now in Settings › General.

Settings › General › Delete StillRun… erases the passcode, settings and stored photos and quits; then move the app to the Trash. Remove Accessibility and Camera access in System Settings › Privacy & Security.
