keypeek
Keyboard shortcut overlay for macOS
Hold ⌘ and see everything this app can do.
KeyPeek reads the menus of whatever app you're in and lays every command and keyboard shortcut on screen: grouped, searchable, runnable. Release the key and it's gone.

Three moves. Zero new habits.
The whole app is one gesture on a key you already press a hundred times a day.
-
⌘
Hold
Keep ⌘ down for a moment. No clicks, no chords. The overlay fades in with every command of the app you're in, straight from its real menus, shortcuts drawn as keycaps.
-
⌘S
Release, or just press the shortcut
Let go and it vanishes. Or press the combo you just found while still holding, and the app receives it as if KeyPeek weren't there. That's how the muscle memory forms.
-
↩
Pin & run
Release ⌘ over the panel and it stays. Type to filter every command fuzzily, arrow to one, hit ↩, and KeyPeek runs it in the app, even commands that never had a shortcut.
The cheat sheet that writes itself.
Nothing to configure, nothing to maintain: KeyPeek reads the menu bar every app already publishes.
Real menus, read on the spot.
The overlay is never stale and never generic: it's the actual menu bar of the frontmost app, grouped the way its menus are, with disabled items dimmed and checkmarks mirrored. Switch apps and the cheat sheet switches with you.
Star what slips your mind.
Starred commands float to the top, per app, in your order. A personal cheat sheet built one ★ at a time.
Your app stays in front.
KeyPeek never activates itself. Even pinned and searchable, the app you're working in keeps its windows, its focus, its flow.
Show exactly what you want.
Hide disabled commands. Hide commands without shortcuts for a pure shortcut sheet. Pick ⌘, ⌥, or ⌃ as your hold key and tune the delay.
Glassy, or solid.
The translucent overlay looks at home on macOS. One switch makes it opaque and high-contrast, kinder on busy screens and low vision.
Reads menus. Nothing else.
No account, no analytics, and no network unless you click Check for Updates. One permission (Accessibility), used only to read the front app's menus and run the command you pick. Everything stays on your Mac. How it works →
