smallQWERTY
smallQWERTY is a lightweight keyboard-enhancement utility for macOS that provides customisable QWERTY keyboard layouts and text expansion features. Based on the bundle ID, it appears to target users who want to modify their keyboard behaviour without replacing the entire system input method. The app sits in the background and intercepts keystrokes to apply custom layout rules or text shortcuts.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find current information about smallQWERTY's native Apple Silicon support status — the developer's web presence is not easily discoverable through standard search, and there is no public repository or recent update history we could verify. If you rely on this app, contact the developer directly at your earliest convenience to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build has been released or is planned. This is important because Apple is removing Rosetta 2 in macOS 28, scheduled for September 2028, and any Intel-only app will stop launching on that release. In the meantime, the app will continue to run under Rosetta 2 on your current Mac, but you should not delay confirming the developer's roadmap. If smallQWERTY turns out to be abandoned or lacks a native build plan, consider alternative keyboard customisation tools such as Karabiner-Elements (free, open-source, actively maintained with native Apple Silicon support) or Alfred (paid, widely used for text expansion and custom hotkeys).
