+## The input method isn't working after installation on macOS 15 or later
+
+Starting with macOS 15 (Sequoia), Apple introduced security restrictions that prevent third-party input methods from being enabled automatically during installation. You need to manually enable Math Symbols Input:
+
+1. Go to **System Settings → Keyboard → Input Sources**
+2. Click the **+** button
+3. Find **Math Symbols Input** under English
+4. Add it to your input sources
+
+After adding the input method, you can switch to it using the input source menu in the menu bar or with the keyboard shortcut (typically Control+Space or Control+Option+Space).

 ## Are there Windows or Linux versions?
 
 Not yet, but hopefully soon.
