Why This Matters

This new macOS menu bar app offers a privacy-focused solution to fix keyboard layout issues without collecting user data or requiring sign-in. Its minimal design and transparent permissions make it a valuable tool for users seeking a secure and efficient way to manage keyboard preferences across different apps and websites. This development highlights the growing emphasis on privacy-centric software in the tech industry, appealing to security-conscious consumers.

Key Takeaways

It only stores tiny preferences - which layout you like per app, website, and chat. No documents, no messages, no keystrokes.

No sign-in, no analytics, no telemetry. It never reports what you do - there's no server to report to.

The only connection it makes is a version check to GitHub - and it sends nothing about you.

Permissions, explained

Two macOS permissions, each for one clear job. Tap a row to see exactly what it does - and doesn't.
