It looks like you're correct -- Gregglogger relies on pynput, and its behavior on macOS aligns with the library's documented limitations [1]:

Recent versions of macOS restrict monitoring of the keyboard for security reasons. For that reason, one of the following must be true:

- The process must run as root.

- Your application must be whitelisted under "Enable access for assistive devices." Note that this might require packaging your application, since otherwise the entire Python installation must be whitelisted.

- On macOS versions after Mojave, you may also need to whitelist your terminal application if running your script from a terminal.
