CheatSheet

CheatSheet is a free keyboard shortcut utility for macOS that displays all available keyboard shortcuts for the active application. By holding the Command key for two seconds, users see a panel listing every shortcut organized by category, allowing them to either type the command or click to execute it directly. It works across most Mac applications, including Microsoft Office and many others, and has a minimal footprint at around 1 MB. The tool is designed to help users avoid memorizing complex key combinations and reduce reliance on the mouse, making it popular with power users seeking faster workflow.</description> <parameter name="recommendation">CheatSheet appears to be abandoned. The search results show the app was last meaningfully updated to version 1.6.4, with earlier evidence suggesting the project had largely stalled by 2019. Most critically, the app is Intel-only (64-bit x86 architecture confirmed in the Does It Arm analysis) and there is no native Apple Silicon build. The app will continue to run under Rosetta 2 today, but Apple is removing Rosetta in macOS 28 (September 2028), so CheatSheet will stop launching entirely on that release and any later macOS version. There is no clear native alternative that replicates CheatSheet's exact instant-reveal-all-shortcuts workflow on Apple Silicon. If you depend on this app, you should begin exploring alternatives now—the most viable options are built-in macOS features like Command key hints in system menus, or third-party tools such as Keystroke Pro, which offers similar shortcut discovery on Apple Silicon, though with a different user interface.
