KeyShift Shortcuts

KeyShift is a native macOS menu bar utility for fast, keyboard-first app switching.

Assign shortcuts to the Mac apps you use all day, then jump to them instantly without opening Spotlight, reaching for the Dock, or breaking your flow. KeyShift can switch to apps that are already running or launch them when needed.

Quick Bind lets you create a shortcut for the current frontmost app in seconds, so you can map your workspace as you use it.

Features:

• Custom keyboard shortcuts for your favorite Mac apps
• Menu bar access without a Dock icon
• Quick Bind for assigning shortcuts to the current app
• Switch Back support for returning to your previous app
• Optional Launch at Login
• Excluded apps for pausing switching while specific apps are active
• Local settings stored on your Mac

KeyShift is intentionally lightweight and private. It stores shortcut settings locally on your Mac and reads local app metadata only so you can choose apps for shortcuts. It does not include analytics, ads, tracking, or third-party data collection SDKs.

KeyShift includes a 7-day free trial. After the trial, a one-time Lifetime Unlock purchase keeps app shortcuts and Quick Bind running.
