Use this macOS guide to install RustDesk, allow the app to run, and grant the permissions needed for screen capture and input control.
|
|
|
|
## What does RustDesk need on macOS?
|
|
|
|
RustDesk on macOS needs more than the app installation itself. To control another Mac correctly, you typically need to move the app into `Applications`, allow it to run, then grant `Accessibility`, `Screen Recording`, and in some cases `Input Monitoring` permissions.
|
|
|
|
## macOS quick answers
|
|
|
|
- Install RustDesk from the `.dmg` into `Applications`.
|
|
- Allow the app under macOS security settings if Gatekeeper blocks it.
|
|
- Grant `Accessibility` and `Screen Recording` for remote control.
|
|
- Grant `Input Monitoring` if keyboard or mouse input still does not work.
|
|
- Reboot if permission resets do not take effect immediately.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
|
|
Open the .dmg file and drag `RustDesk` to `Applications` as below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have quit all running RustDesk. Also make sure you quit the RustDesk service shown on the tray.

## Which macOS permissions matter?
|
|
|
|
| Permission | Why it matters |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| Accessibility | Lets RustDesk control keyboard and mouse input |
|
|
| Screen Recording | Lets RustDesk capture the local display |
|
|
| Input Monitoring | Needed on newer macOS versions when local input capture still fails |
|
|
|
|
## Enable permissions
|

|
|
Due to macOS security policy change, our api which captures input on local side does not work any
|
|
more. You have to enable "Input Monitoring" permission on local Mac side.
|
|
Please follow this

In version 1.2.4, you can try out `Input source 2` which can be seen by clicking on keyboard icon on the toolbar.

To capture screen, you need to grant RustDesk **Accessibility** permission and **Screen Recording** permission. RustDesk will guide you to the settings window.

If you have enabled it in the settings window, but RustDesk still warns. Please remove `RustDesk` from the settings windows by the `-` button, and click on `+` button, select `RustDesk` in `Applications`.

`tccutil reset ScreenCapture com.carriez.RustDesk` <br>

`tccutil reset Accessibility com.carriez.RustDesk` <br>

Reboot is still required.
