FAQ
Why does Kensa ask for access to my Desktop folder?
macOS guards three folders in particular: Desktop, Documents and Downloads. Any app other than Finder needs your permission before it may open them, and Kensa is no exception. All Kensa does is hand the folder to Finder, which opens it in a window for you. It never reads what is inside.
It asks once per folder, the first time you open that one, and never while you are typing. If you say no, that folder does not open and nothing else changes. You can switch it on later in System Settings › Privacy & Security › Files and Folders.
Which permissions does Kensa need?
None, unless you switch on one of the two optional features. The window actions need Accessibility, because macOS lets no app move another app's window without it. Switching your Mac between light and dark needs Automation. Both arrive switched off, and while they are off those commands are not even in the palette.
Does anything leave my Mac?
No account, no sync, no tracking. Kensa checks whether a newer version is available, and downloads the European Central Bank's daily exchange rates so that converting currency is instant. That file is public and says nothing about you.
Which macOS do I need?
macOS 26 or later.
Who makes Kensa?
One person, for their own use, shared in case it is useful to you as well. It comes as is.
