Hi everyone,

I've shared a few of my Mac apps here before, and I've always appreciated the feedback from the MacRumors community. This time I'd like to share another small app I've been working on: Keymap.

Keymap is built around a simple idea: make keyboard shortcuts easier to discover without getting in the way.

There are already several good apps that do something similar, including free options like CheatSheet and KeyClu. So I wasn't trying to solve a completely new problem here.

What I wanted was a slightly different workflow.

With Keymap running in the background, you can double-press ⌘ to bring up the shortcuts available in the app you're currently using. You can then search through them instead of trying to remember which menu contains a particular command.

It can also detect shortcut conflicts and, in the paid version, lets you remap shortcuts and see which shortcuts you actually use most often.

A few things about the app:

  • Native macOS app
  • No account required
  • Shortcut information is obtained from the app's menus
  • Works across different Mac apps
  • Free version available
  • Premium is a one-time purchase rather than a subscription
I tried to keep the app small and focused rather than turning it into a general-purpose keyboard utility.

If you've used CheatSheet, KeyClu, or similar tools before, I'd especially like to hear what you think. I'm interested in whether this workflow actually feels useful in day-to-day Mac use, and where it could be improved.

Thanks again to everyone here who has given feedback on my previous apps.
