HotkeyClash

What it does

A free, open-source macOS menu bar app that scans every registered keyboard shortcut across your apps, Karabiner-Elements, skhd, and macOS system shortcuts, then shows exactly where they collide. No accounts, no telemetry, no dependencies.

Open-source macOS utility that scans your running apps, Karabiner, skhd, and system shortcuts to find where they clash. Free forever. Zero dependencies.

HotkeyClash scans your running apps, Karabiner, skhd, and macOS system shortcuts, then shows exactly where two or more of them claim the same key combination. Run Raycast, BetterTouchTool, Karabiner, Keyboard Maestro, and a window manager on the same Mac, and sooner or later two of them claim the same key combination. macOS won’t warn you. System Settings only checks its own shortcuts and ignores every third-party app. You’re left guessing which app stole your hotkey. HotkeyClash answers that question in one scan: every registered shortcut, from every source, grouped by key combination — with the clashes highlighted. Reads the menu bar shortcuts of every running application —…from hotkeyclash.com

  Pie Menu – a radial menu for macOS2024 · pie-menu.com · ▲309

  Hi everyone! I'm Marius Hauken, an indie developer, and I'm excited to share my app: Pie Menu. It offers a fresh way to access your favorite menu bar commands and keyboard shortcuts on macOS. By simply pressing a hotkey you choose during setup, a radial menu appears around your cursor, customized to the current active application. This allows you to quickly select commands without having to remember complex shortcuts across different applications. Pie Menu comes with a library of preprogrammed commands for popular apps, but you can easily add any app on your computer. We've also created an…

  Hey Hacker News The ones that know me here know that I am a productivity geek. After DockFlow to manage my Dock and ExtraDock, which gives me more space to manage my apps and files, I decided to tackle the macOS big boss: the menu bar. I spend ~40% of my day context-switching between apps — Zoom meetings, Slack channels, Code projects, and Figma designs. My macOS menu bar has too many useless icons I almost never use. So I thought to myself, how can I use this area to improve my workflows? Most solutions (Bartender, Ice) require screen recording permissions, and did not really solve my…

  Talanoa▲340

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
