Fix common issues.

GoType requires Accessibility access to read text fields and insert suggestions.

1. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
2. Find GoType in the list and toggle it on.
3. If GoType is not listed, open the app from your Applications folder first, then return to this screen.
4. Restart GoType after granting access.

If the overlay doesn't show while you type, try the following:

• Confirm the GoType menu-bar icon is visible and the app is running.
• Verify Accessibility permission is granted (see above).
• Check that suggestions are not paused — click the menu-bar icon and look for a "Paused" status.
• Try a different app to rule out a per-app compatibility issue.
• Quit and reopen GoType.

GoType detects the focused application through macOS Accessibility APIs. If your app is not detected:

• Check the Compatibility page — some apps require a one-time setup step.
• For browsers, make sure you're focused in a text input, not the address bar.
• VS Code and most code editors only work in AI sidebar chats, not the main editor.
• If your app isn't listed at all, contact us — we may be able to add support.
