macOS (Catalina) Disabled Input Monitoring
I have an application that I need to add to the input monitoring section of Security/Privacy. For some reason when I click on it and then unlock I don't even get an empty list, I get nothing and there's no more "+" to add to the list....
Solution 1:
Can't speak specifically for that list as I'm still on Mojave, but there are several like that [Microphone & Camera on Mojave]. The app must ask, there is no user 'add' function at all.
That is the empty list, it won't become a true list until it is populated.
Solution 2:
I ran into this with Logitech Options. It wasn't showing up in Input Monitoring. To fix this, I had to see where else it was and remove it. Then reboot.
In my case, I found Logi Options and Logi Options Daemon in Accessibility.
- Click the lock icon
- Enter admin password
- Select the app to remove
- Click the minus sign (-) button
- Repeat for other related apps
- Reboot
Now, when you log back into macOS, you will be prompted to allow the new permissions. This should add the app to Input Monitoring.
