The shortcut does nothing
Open Writeth and choose Check permissions again. Confirm Writeth is enabled under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. If macOS uses the Globe key for emoji, language switching, or Apple Dictation, choose Right Option or Option–Space instead.
Recording does not start
Confirm Writeth is enabled under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Microphone. In Writeth Settings, choose System Default or a connected input device.
Your API key is rejected
Writeth uses the OpenAI API, not a ChatGPT or Codex subscription. Check that your API account has a valid key, billing or credits, model access, and available quota, then replace the key in Writeth Settings.
Text was not pasted
Try a manual Command–V. Writeth intentionally avoids automatic paste when the original app quits, Secure Input is active, or clipboard ownership changes. Do not test with password fields.
Move or recover a license
Deactivate a Mac you can still access before activating another. Purchase recovery uses Lemon Squeezy My Orders. Support can help reset an inaccessible activation after purchase verification.
