Why do these apps require screen recording permissions to work? Just curious.

To run a bunch of "hacks" that make it work better than the alternatives, I guess:

Dozer [0] doesn't require any special permissions. I guess this is needed by Bartender because it creates a little pop-out menu that shows the icons somewhere else?

If true, that's a wild permissions model
