Why isn’t the app listed in Full Disk Access?

On a fresh install, macOS may not show the app automatically. Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Full Disk Access, click + , choose the app, then relaunch it.

Why does Veil need Full Disk Access?

Veil reads the local macOS permission database so it can show which other apps have sensitive access. Without Full Disk Access, that local scan is blocked by the OS.

Where is my license key?

The Pro license key arrives in the order receipt email and is also available from the hosted order page. Paste it into Preferences → License inside the app.

What if activation fails?

First verify the key was copied exactly. If you previously activated it on another Mac, deactivate there first when possible, then try again.

Free vs Pro
