WhatKey Launches

Two weeks ago I teased the icon, and now today is the official launch day of WhatKey. Internally, we’ve been calling it CapSee’s Brother because it uses the same bezel notification that CapSee uses, but for a different purpose. WhatKey is designed to help you know what key Apple is telling you to hit with its keyboard shortcuts.




I use Macs exclusively, and I still do not know which key to hit when an app says to hit the ⌥ key. We created WhatKey to help with this. Simply hold down one of the modifiers keys for a couple of seconds (control, option, command) and a bezel will display showing you which symbol matches that key.

WhatKey runs in the background and only appears when you hold a key for a while, so it’s not intrusive or annoying.
