What is KeyCastr FOR MAC?

KeyCastr

KeyCastr is a super handy tool for anyone creating video guides or streaming. If you want your viewers to see exactly what keys you're pressing and where you're clicking, this software has got you covered!

What is KeyCastr?

KeyCastr is a free, open-source program that helps visualize keystrokes. It works well with key combinations and captures mouse clicks too. Setting it up is a breeze, and you can customize some visual options if you like things just so.

How Does It Work?

This app can run in the Dock or the menu bar on your Mac. Once you give it permission, it starts capturing your keystrokes right away. By default, you'll see the key presses pop up in the bottom-left corner of your screen, but if that's not your style, you can easily drag the display wherever you'd prefer.

Display Options

The on-screen display (OSD) shows all the keys you're pressing. This includes any combos or words typed out. Plus, if you're a fan of using the Cmd key, you can set things up to show those combinations too!

Customizing Your View

You have two main display options. The first one only pops up when keys are pressed, keeping things neat and tidy. The second option focuses on key combinations and keeps them visible all the time while highlighting them as they're pressed.

Personal Touches

Both modes allow for some customization! With the first mode, you can tweak settings like font style, delay timing, linger time after pressing a key, fade duration, and even color choices! The second mode allows for more visibility of all keystrokes but may not be ideal for every situation.

A Great Free Tool

If you're looking for an easy-to-use app for visualizing keystrokes without spending a dime, KeyCastr does the job! It comes packed with enough features to fit most needs while staying lightweight.
