Are you frustrated?

Caught in a "Shortcut Traffic Jam"?

You learned shortcuts to boost your productivity,but are they causing you more stress instead?

Running Out of Keys

You want to register a new shortcut, but all the easy-to-reach key combinations are already taken by other functions.

Finger-Twisting Hand Strain

Pressing 3 or more modifier keys at once like ⌘ + ⌥ + ⇧ + ⌃ is physically demanding and prone to mistakes during context switching.

Cross-App Conflicts

The same shortcut triggers completely different actions in your code editor and browser, leading to constant frustration and mistakes.

Broken State of Flow

Lacking efficient shortcuts, you end up reaching for the mouse or trackpad. Every time you do, your typing flow state gets reset completely.

How does HyperCaps change your typing experience?

The Problem

slowing you down?

Trigger your terminal instantly with Hyper + C, or search IDE projects with Hyper + P. Build an environment that never breaks your development flow.

Designers & Creators

Open frequently used tool panels with Hyper + T. Switch between design tools in a flash and immerse yourself in creative work.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions before you try

Q How do I completely remove the app?

A

Simply drag the app to the Trash. No complicated uninstallers required, and it won't leave any leftover system files deep in your Mac.

Q What happens after the 14-day trial? Will I be charged automatically?

A

You will never be charged automatically. Starting the trial does not require a credit card or even an email address. After the trial period ends, features will be restricted, and you can simply purchase a license if you enjoyed using it.

Q Can I use it alongside other keyboard customization apps?

A

Using it simultaneously with other apps that modify the Caps Lock key (like Karabiner-Elements) may cause conflicts. We recommend disabling Caps Lock-related settings in other apps while using HyperCaps.
