Symptoms
FocusDragon prompts for Accessibility permission repeatedly, even though it looks granted. Same shape as the Screen Recording bug: a stale TCC entry that won't refresh with a simple toggle.
AI Focus doesn't need it
AI Focus doesn't use Accessibility. Before each block it asks only for Screen Recording, a connection to FocusDragon's server, and the FocusDragon extension in every supported browser you have installed.
Pure website blocking via the browser extension does not need Accessibility. If you only block URLs, you can skip this permission entirely.
Step-by-step fix
- 1. Quit FocusDragon (Cmd-Q).
- 2. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
- 3. Find FocusDragon, click the minus (−) button to remove it. Enter your password if prompted.
- 4. Relaunch FocusDragon and go back to where it asked for Accessibility.
- 5. When prompted, click Open System Settings and toggle FocusDragon On.
- 6. Quit and relaunch one more time so the new permission state is read at startup.
