First launch may request Keychain access and macOS privacy permissions (screen recording / accessibility) — that's the system asking on the app's behalf.

Mini keeps screenshots, annotation, pinning and recording, drops QR/table recognition, and downloads text recognition on first use. Read more about Mini →
