About Keyty

Keyty

Português (Brasil) |

Keyty is a free, open-source app that visualizes your keyboard and mouse actions in real time, making demos, presentations, tutorials, and livestreams easier to follow. It gives your audience a clear view of every shortcut, click, and input so you can communicate more effectively on screen.

Features

Keyboard

  • Real-time display of keyboard shortcuts, special keys, and typed input
  • Customizable overlay styles, themes, size, layout, and fade timing
  • Filters for modified keystrokes, special keys, media keys, and mouse events

Mouse

  • Visualize mouse clicks and scroll actions alongside keyboard input
  • Pointer highlight ring with configurable shape, color, size, and thickness
  • Pointer icon overlay with adjustable position, size, background, and tint
  • Mouse ripple visualizer for emphasizing click feedback during demos

Customization

Keyty can be tuned from Settings to match your workflow and presentation style:

  • Appearance: Choose keyboard overlay styles, themes, colors, and size.
  • History: Keep a visual trail of your recent inputs.
  • Filters: Control whether modified keystrokes, special keys, media keys, and mouse events appear.
  • Mouse: Configure pointer rings and pointer icons, including visibility, shape, color, size, offset, background, and tint.
  • Placement: Pick the display, screen anchor, margin, and stacking direction.

Permissions

Keyty requires your permission to receive events from macOS in order to display your keystrokes and mouse clicks. See [PERMISSIONS.md](Docs/PERMISSIONS.md) for setup and troubleshooting.

Privacy

Input events are processed locally on your Mac. Keyty does not record, store, or upload your keystrokes, typed text, mouse clicks, or pointer activity. See [PRIVACY.md](Docs/PRIVACY.md) for details, including Sparkle update checks.
