Information
FAQ
Answers to common questions about IrukaDark
It's currently in development. We're targeting an early 2026 release. We'll announce the exact date once it's confirmed.
macOS. Download the installer directly from the Downloads page.
It explains text in context—beyond word‑for‑word translation—so you get intent, background, and plain‑language explanations instantly.
IrukaDark does not use your data for training. However, whether your data is used for training depends on the settings of the LLM API providers that you configure in the app.
Start with Option+S for screenshot explanations—just select an area and experience AI instantly. Next, try selecting text and pressing Option+A. Then explore the clipboard feature for seamless copy-paste workflows. Once you're comfortable, customize other features to fit your workflow.
It might take a little effort. You may get stuck on the Screen Recording or Accessibility permission settings. But if everything goes smoothly, it takes less than 3 minutes—just push through the initial setup!
Yes. IrukaDark is free to use. Install it via the Downloads page anytime.
Yes. IrukaDark connects to AI services to generate explanations. Only the content you select (or capture) is sent over HTTPS; IrukaDark does not store your data.
IrukaDark ships a helper binary named IrukaAutomation that uses the macOS Accessibility API. macOS manages permissions per binary; after an update replaces the binary and its code-signing hash changes, the previous permission can be invalidated and an Accessibility error may appear.
Fix 1 (recommended): Re-add in Settings
- Open System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
- Select IrukaDark and remove it (−).
- Add it again (+) and choose
/Applications/IrukaDark.app. - Restart the app.
Fix 2: Reset via Terminal
tccutil reset Accessibility com.core.irukadark
# Restart the app and allow the permission dialog when prompted
Fix 3: Full reset (if the above fails)
sudo tccutil reset Accessibility
Note: This is due to macOS security behavior; even signed apps can be affected when binaries are updated.
No, it does not work during sleep mode. For the schedule feature to work, your Mac must be awake and IrukaDark must be running. To automatically open apps or websites at a specified time, make sure your Mac is not in sleep mode at that time.
