Overview

KeyStruck pops a clean HUD with the action name every time you fire a keyboard shortcut. Record a demo, run a class, or share your screen, and the audience sees what you're doing instead of leaning in to read your keyboard. It’s also great for anyone learning shortcuts and to feel confident you invoked the right function.

KeyStruck features

HUD on every shortcut

The moment you hit a keyboard shortcut, KeyStruck pops a small, readable overlay showing the menu action's name. No need to pause and explain what just happened — your audience can read it right on screen. It works quietly in the background and shows up only when it's needed.

Make it yours

KeyStruck comes with light, dark, glossy, and flat themes so the overlay fits whatever's on screen. Pick a position that works for you — top-left, bottom-right, center, or anywhere in between. The HUD is there to help, not to get in the way.

Mute it when you need to

Not every shortcut needs an audience. With exclusions, you can silence the HUD for specific apps or particular shortcuts you'd rather keep private. Share your screen confidently, knowing KeyStruck only shows what you want it to show.

Built-in shortcut cheat sheet

Forget Alt-tabbing to a reference doc. KeyStruck can display every shortcut available in the active app, right there when you need it. It's a great way to explore an app's shortcuts or brush up on ones you haven't memorized yet.

Menu-bar only, no distractions

KeyStruck lives in your menu bar and stays out of your Dock. When you don't need it, pause it with one click. It's the kind of tool that only shows up when it's useful — which is exactly the kind of tool you want.
