# macOS integrations
A Mac app is a set of entry points around the system, not one window. This
skill picks the API for each entry point and the permission it costs.
Code for every row is in [recipes.md](recipes.md).
## Pick the API
| Want | API | Permission |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Global shortcut (key combo) | Carbon `RegisterEventHotKey` | None |
| Hold-to-show (hold Option, press Tab) or key remapping | `CGEvent.tapCreate` event tap | Accessibility |
| Watch keys without changing them (keystroke overlay) | Listen-only event tap | Input Monitoring (`CGRequestListenEventAccess`) |
| List other apps' windows | `CGWindowListCopyWindowInfo` | None (titles need Screen Recording) |
