What you get

You can find the right shortcut without remembering every key combination.

KeyCue gives you a way to look up keyboard commands while you work, rather than hunt through menus or rely on memory. Hold down the ⌘ key to see shortcuts for your current app alongside system-wide commands. If you only remember part of a shortcut, you can highlight matching commands; if you remember what you want to do, you can search by keyword instead.

You can also create your own shortcuts or change existing ones to suit how you work. For files and folders you return to often, you can use a shortcut to reach them and browse folder contents. You can keep a list of frequently visited websites and open them by shortcut, too.

When you need an emoji, you can search by keyword or browse recent favorites, so you spend less time scrolling before returning to your message.

  • Find forgotten commands

    You can look up app and system shortcuts by keyword or by the keys you remember.

  • Use shortcuts that suit you

    You can create custom keyboard commands or modify existing ones to match your workflow.

  • Reach frequent destinations

    You can open frequently used files, folders, and websites with shortcuts instead of navigating to them repeatedly.

  • Spend less time finding emoji

    You can search emoji by keyword or choose from recent favorites when writing messages.

Best for

  • You switch between apps with different keyboard shortcuts
  • You repeatedly open the same files, folders, or websites
  • You want to use more keyboard commands without memorizing them

Skip it if

You may not need KeyCue if you already know your shortcuts and rarely need custom commands or quick access to frequent destinations.
