 For Command-Space, select **Applications** and choose **Use ⌘Space**. If it conflicts with Spotlight, Input Sources, or another app, change that binding in System Settings first. Conjure never changes macOS shortcuts for you. Shortcuts work while Conjure is running; they do not start a quit app or require Accessibility permission.
 
-On macOS 27, [Siri AI uses Command-Shift-Space to select a window for screen capture](https://support.apple.com/en-is/guide/mac-help/iphmk4p88mkuky/mac). That system reservation can conflict even though it is not listed under Spotlight or Input Sources. Use another binding unless you have freed the Siri shortcut.
+Conjure lets macOS decide whether a global shortcut can be registered, rather than rejecting it solely because it appears in the system shortcut table. A registered shortcut can still compete with system behavior; if it does, change the conflicting system shortcut or choose another binding.
 
 Install Conjure in `/Applications`, then enable **Launch at login** in Settings to start it in the background. If macOS requires approval, use **Open Login Items Settings…** to grant it.
