RippleKeys
An open-source menu bar app that visualizes your ⌘ ⇧ keyboard shortcuts and mouse actions in real time — made for demos, tutorials, and livestreams. The keyboard overlay is free; the mouse ripples are a one-time unlock.
What's free, and what's paid
Free, forever
- The keyboard overlay — key presses, modifier flags, media keys
- The pointer ring
- The pointer icon
Mouse ripples
Unlock with a license key · 14-day free trial
- The ripples the app is named after — drawn at the pointer on every click and press
RippleKeys is named after the ripples, so it is worth saying plainly: they are the one paid feature. The keyboard overlay, the ring and the icon are free and stay free. The 14-day trial starts on first launch and needs no key, and the check that ends it lives in the app itself — it turns away the casual case, not a determined one. Please buy it if you use it.
