### System Requirements

You will need a Mac (Intel or Arm) running at least macOS 13.0. That's it!

### Software Setup

FADE requires the FadeControl Mac app to be running in order to work.

#### System Permissions

When you open FadeControl for the first time, you will be presented with two system prompts in sequence. They will ask you to grant FadeControl these two system permissions:

* Accessibility 
* Input Monitoring

These are both required for the cursor drag feature to work properly. If you accidentally exit out of the prompts, or need to fix permissions:

1.  go to Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Accessibility, then enable FadeControl
2.  go to Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Input Monitoring, then enable FadeControl

Once these are set, you should not have to touch them again. After setting, quit and reopen the app.
