KM does not work After I Upgraded to macOS Catalina. How do I fix?

Questions & Suggestions

First, please try searching for "catalina" in this forum. Apple make some major changes in security starting with macOS Mojave, and more with Catalina.

And see this in the KM Wiki: Accessibility Permission Problem assistance

If you still can't run/trigger any Macro, then you can ask Keyboard Maestro itself for assistance by choosing Help ➤ Interactive Help menu.

If all of that does not solve your problem, then please upload an example macro and also a screenshot of its Macro Group details.

BEFORE you attempt the next fix, let's see what @peternlewis has to say.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As the VERY LAST fix to attempt, you can try a reinstall of KM:

  1. Export All of your Macros somewhere safe.
  2. Backup these files in the KM Support Folder
    ~/Library/Application Support/KeyboardMaestro
    • Keyboard Maestro Clipboards.plist
    • Keyboard Maestro Clipboard History.plist
    • Keyboard Maestro Dictionaries.sqlite
    • Keyboard Maestro Macros.plist
    • Keyboard Maestro Variables.sqlite
      .
  3. Use an app uninstaller like AppDelete or AppCleaner
  4. Download a fresh copy of KM from Keyboard Maestro 11.0.2: Work Faster with Macros for macOS
  5. Be sure to install in your main Applications folder.
  6. After you start the KM Editor, try creating a very simple macro to test.
  7. If that works, then import all of the macros you exported in Step #1.
