Permission, explained

You should know what access is for.

Letter Switcher runs locally and needs no account. Accessibility helps identify and focus windows; Screen Recording creates window previews. The app never forces a permission prompt at launch.

Local by default

Your app list, window titles, and screen content stay on your Mac.

Access when needed

System access is only needed when you use window-level features.
