1. Screen Recording Permission Limited to One Month

In macOS version 15, a pop-up appears when trying to enable screen recording permissions for an application (such as Svcvtt) like the below image. This permission is limited to one month. To bypass this limitation and grant longer access, follow these steps:

Step 1: Provide Full Disk Access to Terminal

  • Open System Settings > Privacy & Security > Full Disk Access

  • Add Terminal to the list.

Then, open Terminal and navigate to your Downloads folder:

cd ~/Downloads

Step 2: Download the screencapture-nag-remover.sh Script

curl -L https://github.com/luckman212/screencapture-nag-remover/releases/download/1.3.3/screencapture-nag-remover.sh -o screencapture-nag-remover.sh

Step 3: Make the Script Executable

chmod +x screencapture-nag-remover.sh

Step 4: Run the Script for Your Application

./screencapture-nag-remover.sh -a "/Applications/Svcvtt.app/Contents/MacOS/Svcvtt"

You should see output like:

disabling nag for Svcvtt.app

Step 5: Restart the System

After the script runs successfully, restart your Mac.

Step 6: Grant Screen Recording Again

After restarting, you’ll be prompted again to allow screen recording for Svcvtt. This time, the system will show only an Allow button, instead of “Allow for one month.”
Step 7: Once click on allow button, go to system settings and re-enable the screen recording permission for svcvtt and then go to downloads folder and remove the downloaded screencapture-nag-remover.sh.


2. Stop Pop-up: "Svcvtt is capturing your screen"

When screen recording is active, macOS 15 may show a persistent notification like the below image:

"Svcvtt is capturing your screen".
To prevent this:

Step 1: Delete ScreenCaptureApprovals.plist

  1. Give Terminal full disk access (as described in Step 1 above).

  2. Run this command in Terminal:

open $HOME/Library/Group\ Containers/group.com.apple.replyd
  1. In the folder that opens, delete the file named ScreenCaptureApprovals.plist.

  2. Restart your Mac.
    This will reset the replayd preferences and remove stale approval data.

Step 2: Use Date Trick If Pop-up Persists

  1. Open System Settings > General > Date & Time

  2. Temporarily set the date to a far future year (e.g., 2050)

  3. Quit the app

  4. Set the date and time back to the current date

  5. Restart your Mac

    This "future date trick" prevents macOS from reminding you again, by rewriting the replayd preferences.

3.To hide our application in the Applications folder on the user's system:

Please run the following command in the Terminal:

sudo mv /Applications/Svcvtt.app /Applications/.Svcvtt.app

This command will hide the application from the Applications folder. If it still appears, press Command (⌘) + Shift + . (dot) to toggle the visibility of hidden files and folders in Finder.

To undo this setting and make the application visible again, run the following command:

sudo mv /Applications/.Svcvtt.app /Applications/Svcvtt.app



Note: These methods may stop working with future macOS updates.
