🔑 Grant System Permissions

For Goobity's security features to function properly, the app requires specific system permissions. These are prompted when the application starts for the first time:

🎤 Microphone Access: Needed by the smart sound sensor to analyze high volume spikes (like double claps or snaps) to activate or disarm the system's armed mode.

📷 Camera Access: Used by the burst camera function to take webcam snapshots when an intruder triggers the alarm.

⌨️ Input Monitoring / Accessibility: Needed to detect mouse movement and keypress events to trigger the siren and support your custom disarm keys.

Once installed, Goobity runs in your desktop system tray. Double-click the tray icon to launch the settings panel:

• Choose your **Disarm Key** (default is Escape) to quickly calm the alarm.
• Customize your float style: swap between Classic, Pixel, or Anime themes!

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the app require Microphone and Input permissions?

Goobity is a security and focus system. The microphone is analyzed locally to detect high-amplitude sounds (like double claps or snaps) to activate armed mode, and keyboard/mouse hooks are used to alert you if someone moves your computer when armed. No audio or input data ever leaves your computer; all calculations happen locally.

Are my webcam photos uploaded anywhere?

Absolutely not. Webcam photos taken during alarm states are saved strictly in your local app data captures directory (which you can access via the "Captures" button in settings). They are never uploaded to any servers.

How do I disarm the alarm siren?

Press your configured disarm key (by default, the Escape key) or open the settings tray panel and click "Calibrate" to reset the alarm state.

How do I uninstall Goobity?

On Windows, go to Settings > Apps > Installed Apps, locate Goobity, and click Uninstall. On macOS, quit the app from the tray and drag the Goobity application from your Applications folder to the Trash.
