KeyCastr overview

KeyCastr is a keystroke visualizer, allowing you to easily display your keystrokes while recording screencasts. It is very useful when demonstrating complicated keyboard shortcuts.

What’s new in version 0.9.18

Bug fixes and performance improvement Latest
  • This build contains two internal fixes/improvements, but no new features.
  • Introducing another display option made the default visualizer a little less efficient in displaying keystrokes. This is improved by over 80% by making the user's display settings stateful within the visualizer in addition to their storage in NSUserDefaults.
  • In addition, the About panel should now display more reliably following migration to ARC.

I just successfully installed KeyCastr using MacUpdate Desktop. As a test, I also downloaded it. Whatever problems people were having getting this app has been solved. Maybe for several years! I'm leaving a 4.5 star review because it works as advertised, and does everything I need. It may deserve 5 stars.

DL no longer available. Download link and developer site redirect to MacKeeper ads and dating sites. Remove this crap Macupdate, or host binaries yourself please.

I'm really enjoy KeyCastr. However, i found that it didn't display the "words(my typing)" in my Mac and even i'm maximum the front size. Then, i changed "Selected visualizer" into ""Svelte". i found that it only can detect the "Command", "alt", "shift" and "control" buttons in the bottom of "box" which display nothing at "large area" in box whatever i type. Could any one help me?Thank you!!!

Pretty cool app. Some small feature suggestions: - Ability to display command keys only - many times in graphics software one holds down command keys to temporarily swap tools. Would be nice to be able to display these. - The bezel doesn't grow proportionally to the font size at the larger font sizes (displayed text ends up on two lines) - Option for text abbreviations instead of Command Key symbols (i.e. Cmd, Ctrl, Opt, Esc, Tab, Ret, etc.). Some people have no idea what those symbols mean :) Regardless, cool little app!
