App Cheatsheets

See the keyboard shortcuts of the focused app at a glance when you hold a modifier like ⌘ Command.
Custom cheatsheets can be easily added. Most popular apps already have them hand-crafted by us.

Single-key shortcuts

Hold fn to see single-key shortcuts, like those for picking tools in Pixelmator and Photoshop.

Click to type

Click keys on the on-screen keyboard to type with your mouse, remote, trackpad.
Most helpful when projecting a screen and only having access to a pointer device.

Key combos and modifiers

Clicking on the cheatsheet shortcuts will send the actual key combos to the focused app.

Language aware

The keyboard will show your chosen keyboard layout, be it QWERTZ, AZERTY, Dvorak, Colemak or CJK.
The cheatsheets are aware of the keyboard layout, showing the keys in their correct positions.

Appears when recording

Keylume can pop up automatically when screen recording starts, and hides when recording stops.
Useful if you're doing screecasts, app demos, or tutorials and want to show viewers what keys you're pressing.

Full Apple Keyboard

Every key is there, including media keys, arrows, and modifiers. Matches the look of a real Apple keyboard.
Most keystroke visualizers only show modifier combos or skip function keys. Keylume shows the whole keyboard.

Stylish and themeable

Keylume comes with many built-in themes, and an intuitive theme editor to create your own style.

Share themes

Save themes, share them with others, import themes other people made.
