Boomkey is a keyboard layout fixer for Mac that turns wrong-layout gibberish into the text you meant to type. Select it, double-tap Shift, done. No backspacing, no retyping. Boomkey lives in your menu bar, works offline, and supports 90+ languages. It can even remember which layout each app needs, so the mix-ups happen less often.

  • Fix gibberish typed in the wrong layout

  • Auto-correct words as you hit Space

  • Pin a keyboard layout to each app

  • Switch layouts without the macOS lag

Boomkey features


Fix text with a double-tap of Shift

Tidyshot reads the text in a screenshot, identifies its source app, and creates a descriptive filename such as figma-pricing-page-20260925-101532.png. Build your own naming style with tokens including app, date, and keywords.


Auto-correct on Space

Boomkey checks your words in the background. When you hit Space after a wrong-layout word, it swaps in the right one. The models run offline.


Per-app layout memory

Give each app its own layout. Keep Terminal and your IDE on English, and let Slack or Notes open in Ukrainian. Boomkey switches layouts when you switch windows, so you don't have to think about it.


Faster layout switching

macOS can lag when you change input sources. Boomkey's custom shortcut doesn't. Got three or more layouts? Pick the ones you want to cycle through and skip the languages you rarely use.


90+ languages, 8 scripts

Double-Shift works with Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Yiddish, Georgian, Armenian, Arabic-script languages, and Korean (2-set layout). It reads your macOS layouts as you go, including Option-key symbols. Chinese, Japanese, and Indic languages aren't supported.


Private and out of your way

Boomkey doesn't log keystrokes or make cloud calls. It turns itself off in password fields, code editors, and URLs, so it won't touch things it shouldn't. It sits in the menu bar and barely uses any CPU or RAM.

    App version: 1.2.1

    Reminds me punto switcher for windows, but with more features. I use three keyboard layouts, and since I only need the third one in a specific app, I set it as the default for that app. Also, I've assigned the other two languages to Command + Shift, so switching between that pair doesn't conflict with the third one, which is awesome. Auto correction works great even with 1–2 letter words. It would be great to add more languages for auto correction. Good tool who uses more than 1 language
