install

1
unzip and drag Patina to Applications
Standard macOS app install. The zip contains Patina.app. Safari unzips automatically — if you already see Patina.app, skip to dragging it to Applications.
2
approve the app on first launch
macOS blocks apps from unidentified developers. On macOS 14 (Sonoma): right-click the app → Open → click Open again. On macOS 15 (Sequoia): macOS will block the app. Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security, scroll down, and click "Open Anyway" next to Patina. You only need to do this once.
3
grant Accessibility access
Go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility and toggle Patina on. Patina uses the Accessibility API to observe which app is in the foreground and read window titles. Without this, it cannot learn your workflow patterns.
