Before using Phantomy AI on your Mac, you need to grant two permissions:

Phantomy AI needs access to your camera to detect hand gestures.

How to enable on Mac:

  • Click "OK" or "Allow" to grant camera access
  • If you missed it: Go to System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Camera
  • Check the box next to Phantomy AI
