Background: When Big Sur was released, some users received the error pictured below. We found a number of workarounds for it, but when Ventura was released, none of the workarounds worked. Since then, updates to earlier OS versions have made it so there were no workarounds for those versions either. 



The error prevents you from using JamKazam.


Our engineers have created an interim version of JamKazam that bypasses this issue, and it is available for download. We are now recommending it 

Download the interim version.

Download this version from:



Uninstall the previous version

1. From the finder, navigate to the Applications folder and locate JamKazam.

2. Send the JamKazam application to the trash.

3. Empty the trash.

4. Navigate to the Downloads folder and double-click the new version you downloaded.

To delete all configuration:

  Mac HD/Users/[your login user name]
2. Look for a folder named ".config". If you can't see it, press Command+Shift+dot (period).
3. Open the .config folder and look for a folder named JamKazam and move it to the trash.
4. Empty the trash.
5. Restart your computer.
