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

Somebody's coworker, watching somebody use Shorty

Shorty lives in your Mac's menu bar, catches every click that had a shortcut, and doesn't let it go until you learn the keys.

Free. Mac only. Clicking is for cowards.

Caught you clicking

This is what getting caught looks like.

How it works

You click. Shorty notices. You get fast.

No cheat sheets. No flashcards. You learn a shortcut the way you learn anything that sticks: by getting caught.

1

You reach for the mouse.

File menu. Right-click. That little gear icon. Shorty watches the apps you pick and knows which clicks had a shortcut.

2

Shorty taps you on the shoulder.

A small card shows up with the keys you should have pressed. Hit "Show me" and it walks you through it once.

3

You climb the tiers.

Every shortcut you actually use counts. Each app has its own ladder, and you'll want Diamond in all of them.

Apps it knows

Fifteen apps and counting.

Your daily drivers, plus the system shortcuts nobody taught you.

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.
  • You pick the apps.Shorty only pays attention to the apps you turn on, and you can turn any of them off.
  • No account.No sign-up, no email, no "team plan." Install it and go.
