Hello dears, I am seeing this almost constantly:
No macros are there to consistently track my screen non the less. Not sure why is this happening. Any suggestions?
Do you have a macro running that is looking / monitoring for an image on your screen?
Even if the macro isn't running, macOS will show that notification for some amount of time before it goes away.
It's highly annoying, and unfortunately unavoidable. It will pop-up any time you do anything with finding images onscreen in a macro.

I think it was something strange, i needed to exit Keyboard Maestro for it to disapear. Will see what happens in a few days.
No macro is running, it was ran days before, may be Keyboard Maestro bug. Also this was happening:
- I run a image finding macro
- I cancell all macros
- I restart the macro and the macro doesn’t start from the first step
Bugs in KM are not unknown but they are rare. Different versions of MacOS can introduce problems and annoyances, as @griffman has mentioned.
The macro will start from the first step, but I presume that you mean the image is not found. If you have not already done so, run Help > Interactive Help in the Keyboard Maestro Editor. Let us know how that goes.
If there are still problems, upload your macro here so that we can take a look at it. Instructions on how to do that, plus other advice, are in this article: Forum [Keyboard Maestro Wiki].
Hei I mean starting from other steps as not running the steps before, moving and typing letters which is visible skipped.
The macro will run the steps sequentially, even if the results of doing so are not what you expect to happen.
Please follow the advice in my previous reply, and perhaps someone can then help.
Hei thanks for the help it didn’t repeat itself after restarting Keyboard Maestro. So if the issue returns and I am able to reproduce it I will return and do a more thorough debug. Take care.

The answer to “ Is Keyboard Maestro spying on me?”, obviously, is no.
Keyboard Maestro will record the screen for a variety of reasons to execute various actions, including actions related to finding images or colors of pixels on the screen.
But it does that to implement the actions you are executing.
Meanwhile Apple will display those alerts whenever and however it feels like, and that is entirely beyond Keyboard Maestro’s control.
Also, with very few exceptions (eg the Remote trigger, version check, or active actions like the Get a URL action), nothing leaves your Mac.

Thanks for letting us know. That’s a reminder that “turning it off and on again”—that is, restarting the Mac—is always worth trying!
