INSIGHT

Unified macOS Permission Prompts Needed

  • macOS permission prompts are inconsistent, overwhelming, and scattered across System Settings.
  • A unified system with a power user override would improve usability and privacy control.
ADVICE

Consolidate Permission Prompts

  • macOS should consolidate all permission prompts for a new app into a single UI panel.
  • This would prevent multiple pop-ups and reduce the need to restart apps repeatedly.
INSIGHT

Mac Window Management Needs Rethink

  • Navigating and managing windows on macOS is inconsistent and frustrating, especially with custom title bars.
  • New UI conventions like Swift Shift's approach could make window movement more intuitive.
