macOS shortcuts are meant to help you work faster by providing quick access to common commands. But how many of us can remember them all? KeyCue gives an instant overview of what each app can do, allowing you to start working more efficiently right away.

  • View all shortcuts from the menu bar

  • Create custom shortcuts

  • Access files, folders, and sites instantly

  • Quickly search for and insert emojis

KeyCue features


View shortcuts at a glance

Hold down the ⌘ key to instantly reveal a table of all shortcuts for the current app, as well as system-wide shortcuts. Searching for shortcuts is easy. Just press the key or shortcut you remember, and KeyCue will highlight all the matching commands. If you don’t remember the shortcut, type a keyword, such as “screenshot” or “zoom in,” and KeyCue will find what you need.


Personalize your shortcuts

Stop relying on default shortcuts that might not suit your workflow. With KeyCue, you can create custom keyboard commands or modify existing ones on the fly. For example, you could set a shortcut to quickly toggle your favorite app or jump to a specific part of your project. This will make your work more personalized and efficient.


Open files, folders, and URLs instantly

Tired of wasting time digging through folders to find your files? With KeyCue, you can quickly access your most-used folders and browse their contents with a single shortcut. If you often visit certain websites, KeyCue helps you get there in an instant. Create a list of your go-to URLs and open them with just one shortcut!


Quickly search for and insert emojis

Finding emojis in macOS can be difficult. Scrolling through long lists or trying to guess the right keyword can disrupt your focus. KeyCue simplifies the process by letting you browse your recent favorites, making it effortless to add a fun touch to your messages. You can also search for emojis by keyword.

    App version: 11.1.1

    Cool, and I use it all the time for emojis. But the UX for searching should be better. Right now, gotta move the mouse way down there on the search textbox in order to search. SHOULD be that when interface is open, I only need to type without having to click or press hotkeys before searching.

    App version: 11.1.1

    Helaas gaat het sneltoetsen-overzicht iets te snel aan als ik met de Mac werk. Ik heb geprobeerd dit aan te passen in de voorkeuren, maar het lukt me niet om dit minder gevoelig in te stellen. Dus dan maar geen KeyCue.

    You can change the delay time for each action separately in KeyCue's settings. Feel free to adapt as needed.

    Happy to have this as I missed this functionality from an old app called “commands” or something. Keeping an eye on it regarding privacy though.
