Add ANY custom application on your Mac
MacKey is not limited to pre-configured apps. You can create custom profiles for any software installed in your /Applications folder, including custom enterprise tools, independent developer utilities, and web wrappers.

Click any brand logo tile to switch applications, click any physical keycap to hear the authentic scissor switch sound, and verify how shortcuts swap in real time.
Your keys automatically change
based on the app you are in
When you work in Excel, PowerPoint, VS Code, Cursor, Figma, Xcode, Photoshop, or Premiere Pro, MacKey instantly loads your custom tools for that app. When you switch back to Safari or your desktop, your default keys return automatically.
