If it helps, Tip runs in App Sandbox without requesting any additional permission.
This means Tip cannot read any file on your computer (other than the predefined places in its own sandbox) nor anything on other apps.
There are 2 limited things that it can do:
1. It can only execute the script that you provide at ~/Library/Application\ Scripts/tanin.tip/provider.script
2. It can only see the string that you activate Tip on. This is through NSService.
The privacy and security is top notch. Kudos to Apple who provides such good frameworks.
You can try requesting the app to be allowed from your IT team. I did this at my company (i.e. Stripe) as well.
- al_borland 4y agoThanks. I'll look into it and see how it goes.
- al_borland 4y agoAre you planning to compile this for Apple Silicon? I've been trying hard to avoid installing Rosetta on my new MBP (not that I've heard anything bad, I just don't want to even have to think about it when they finally drop support).
- tanin 4y agoIt should work with M1. I just got M1 last week, and it works. Please let me know if it doesn't.
- al_borland 4y agoIt probably works, but it prompts me to install Rosetta, so I clicked cancel, as I've been trying to avoid that on principle. I'm not sure what principle exactly... Obviously I'm not expecting you to go out of your way, but was wondering if you had plans for native support.
- tanin 4y agoMaybe my work laptop has Rosetta by default. I do have plan to compile a native one. I will see when I can recompile it on M1. Thank you for letting me know.
