You can grant this permission by navigating to: System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility If Synergy still doesn't work, try clearing the 'Accessibility' list: sudo tccutil reset Accessibility You can then grant the 'Accessibility' permission again. You may need to clear this list each time you upgrade synergy-core. On ARM macOS machines, the 'Accessibility' permission must be granted to both of the following two items: (1) $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/synergy-core/bundle/Synergy.app (2) $HOMEBREW_PREFIX/opt/synergy-core/bin/synergy
