macOS FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions for Mac Users
Details on macOS compatibility, permissions, and capture exclusion.
Is ClawPad natively compiled for Apple Silicon Macs?
Yes. ClawPad ships separate Developer ID-signed and notarized DMGs for Apple Silicon (ARM64) and Intel (x86_64) Macs; the download page recommends the one for your machine.
What macOS permissions are required for practice?
Screen Recording permission lets ClawPad capture the practice question on your screen. Microphone permission is requested only if you enable voice features. The Prepare for interview check shows exactly which permissions are granted before a session.
How does capture exclusion work on macOS?
ClawPad requests the legacy window sharing type of none and window-server capture exclusion. Applied settings do not prove what a capture client transmits. Capture exclusion depends on the OS, capture client, and sharing mode. Run the readiness check. Verify the received recording on a second device before a permitted session.
