Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/issues/12

I installed the latest build (August 28, 2014 build) on Mavericks, and launched, it shows a message:
"Catastropic Error Encountered.
Could not create event tap. Make sure 'Enable Access for Assistive Devices' is checked in the Universal Access preferences.
KeyCastr will now terminate."

couldn't find "Enable Access for Assistive Devices". Googling it, the closest seems to be under Privacy/Accessibility, but keycastr does not show up in the app list.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason

See https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/issues/5#issuecomment-29574994, you will need to drag the keycastr app manually to the list of allowed apps. After that, it should work with Mavericks as well.

As @lime said, it's up to OS X security - accessibility matters.
