It's like he's playing an electric keyboard.

A coworker, visibly shaken

Shorty lives in your Mac's menu bar, catches every click that had a shortcut, and rides you about it until you learn it. Your coworkers may start asking you to fix the printer, but that's the price of greatness.

Free. Mac only.

How it works

You click. Shorty notices. That's pretty much it.

No cheat sheets. No flashcards. No lunch-and-learn where someone from IT reads a PDF out loud.

1

You click something.

Old habits. File menu. Right-click. The little gear. Shorty sees all of it, but only in the apps you pick.

2

Shorty taps you on the shoulder.

A small card shows the keys you should have pressed. Hit "Show me" and it walks you through it once. You'll forget it by Thursday. Shorty won't.

3

You climb the tiers.

Every shortcut you actually use counts. Each app has its own ladder. Bronze is a participation trophy. Diamond is a personality.

Apps it knows

Fifteen apps. Including Vim, for the three of you.

Plus macOS itself, which had shortcuts the whole time and never said anything.

Shorty watches your clicks. Nobody watches Shorty.

  • Everything stays on your Mac.Your clicks, scores and streaks live in a local file. Nothing gets uploaded. Nobody will ever know how long it took you to find Paste.
  • You pick the apps.Shorty only watches the apps you turn on. The rest is none of its business.
  • No account.No sign-up, no email, no "quick 15-minute call" that lasts 45. Install it and go.
