You already know the shortcut. You just forgot it.

You've looked it up before. Command-something. Maybe Shift was involved. You open a new tab, type "Figma shortcuts," scroll past the ads, find the one you need, switch back to your app, and — wait, what was it again?

Or maybe you hold down a key and stare at a tiny overlay, trying to parse a wall of text before it vanishes.

This isn't how shortcuts should work. Shortcuts are supposed to save you time, not cost it. You need them visible, organized, and there the moment you glance over — not hidden behind a search bar or a long press.

What makes KeyShortcut different

Built to stay out of your way while keeping every shortcut within reach.

4,888+ shortcuts across 107 apps

From Finder basics to Figma layers to Excel formulas — the shortcuts you actually use, organized by app, ready at a glance. No memorization required.

Always there. Never in the way.

KeyShortcut floats above your workspace in a compact glass panel. It doesn't steal focus, doesn't block your clicks, doesn't interrupt your flow. Pin it to any corner or drag it wherever you want. Toggle it with one hotkey.

Knows what you're using

Switch to Figma, and Figma shortcuts appear. Switch to VS Code, and you see VS Code shortcuts. KeyShortcut detects your active app and shows the right shortcuts automatically.

Your shortcuts, your rules

Questions and answers

Everything you need to know about KeyShortcut.

What macOS versions does KeyShortcut support?
KeyShortcut requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or later.
Is this a subscription?
No. KeyShortcut is a one-time purchase of $7.99. No subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no upsells. Pay once, use it forever.
Does it work with my favorite app?
KeyShortcut ships with shortcuts for 107 apps — from system essentials like Finder and Safari to professional tools like Figma, Xcode, Final Cut Pro, and Excel. Plus JetBrains IDEs, Google Workspace, project management tools, and more. You can also import custom shortcut packs or create your own.
Is it private?
Completely. KeyShortcut is sandboxed, collects no data, sends nothing over the internet, and requires no account. What happens on your Mac stays on your Mac.
Can I add my own shortcuts?
Yes. Create custom shortcuts with any key combination. You can make them visual reference cards or assign actions — open an app, launch a URL, run an Apple Shortcut, or copy text to your clipboard.
Does it support my language?
KeyShortcut is fully localized in 11 languages: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Chinese (Simplified), Hindi, Arabic, Hebrew, Bengali, and Urdu — including full right-to-left support.
How is KeyShortcut different from free alternatives?
Free tools typically show you a raw list of menu items when you hold a key — then disappear the moment you let go. KeyShortcut is always visible, beautifully organized, covers apps beyond the one you're in, detects your active app automatically, lets you search across everything, and supports custom shortcuts with global hotkeys. It's a shortcut companion, not a tooltip.
Can I use it on multiple Macs?
Yes. Like any Mac App Store purchase, KeyShortcut is tied to your Apple Account. Download it on any Mac signed into the same account. Family Sharing is also supported.
