Keymap
Keymap is a macOS menubar app that shows current app shortcuts, checks conflicts, and lets you remap keys locally on your Mac. Free plus $6.99 Premium.
Overview
Keymap is a macOS menubar app that helps you discover and manage keyboard shortcuts in the app you are using. It shows menu shortcuts for the current app, and you can summon it by double-pressing the Command key.
The product is designed for local use on the Mac rather than cloud syncing or account-based workflows. It focuses on shortcut discovery, conflict checking, and remapping so power users can inspect and adjust shortcuts without leaving their current task.
Features
Auto-extracted menu shortcuts
Keymap reads each app’s menu bar and lists its shortcuts automatically, so you do not need to configure supported apps by hand.
Conflict detection
When shortcuts collide, Keymap marks the conflict with severity information and fix suggestions. The coverage is scoped to app menus and your own remaps.
Usage statistics
Premium adds usage statistics, letting you review which shortcuts you actually use and your conflict-free rate over time.
Global remapping
Premium also includes global remapping, so you can change a shortcut to another key combo per app or across the system while protecting loops and system-reserved keys such as Command-Q.
Use Cases
Learning shortcuts in context
Open the panel to see the shortcuts available in the app you are using right now, which is useful when you are learning an unfamiliar menu or trying to remember a rarely used command.
Finding and resolving conflicts
Review detected collisions when two shortcuts overlap, then use the suggested fixes to make a command easier to reach without guessing which binding is active.
Personal shortcut remapping
Use global remapping to move a shortcut to a different key combination when an app’s default shortcut is awkward or clashes with your workflow.
Tracking shortcut usage
Check which shortcuts you actually use and how often conflicts remain unresolved, giving you a usage-based view of your shortcut habits over time.
Private, on-device shortcut management
Keep the workflow local on your Mac when you want shortcut help without creating an account or sending data to a cloud service.

FAQ
Where does my data go?
Keymap stores shortcut data locally on your Mac. The page says it uses no account, no cloud, and no telemetry.
How many Macs does one license cover?
One license covers up to 3 personal Macs. You can deactivate it on one Mac and move it to another.
What permissions does Keymap need?
Keymap requires Accessibility access so it can read menus and detect keys. The permission can be revoked later in System Settings.
Can Keymap detect conflicts with global hotkeys or input-method shortcuts?
No. Keymap can only detect conflicts that are visible in app menus and your own remapping rules. macOS does not expose a global shortcut registry, so global hotkeys and IME bindings are not available to the app.
Does Keymap offer refunds?
The page states that if Keymap does not work for you, you can email [email protected] within 14 days for a full refund.
