Why DockLocker needs Accessibility permission: direct answer

Accessibility permission is used locally to detect and constrain Dock-related interaction, not to upload or sync data.

Decision: DockLocker uses Accessibility permission for Dock-related local interaction. Before granting it, verify download source, app identity, permission purpose, and revocation path.

Steps for Why DockLocker needs Accessibility permission

  1. Download the DMG only from the product site's link and verify filename, version, and developer identity shown by macOS.
  2. Read the system prompt at first launch and grant access only to the intended app in Privacy & Security.
  3. After testing, revoke and regrant access once so you know how to stop and restore the permission.

How to verify the result

  • After revocation, the related lock function stops or requests permission again and ordinary files are not uploaded as part of the workflow.
  • Only the intended app is authorized and any residual permission can be removed after uninstalling.

Limitations and stop conditions

Accessibility is a broad capability, so download provenance and developer trust belong in the installation decision.
