Shortcat is a keyboard-driven command palette utility that lets you interact with virtually any Mac app without touching the mouse or trackpad. It enables you to click buttons, activate menu items, switch windows, and control UI elements using just a few keyboard presses. The app is particularly popular among power users and keyboard enthusiasts who want to stay in the flow without breaking focus to reach for a pointing device. Shortcat works across all macOS applications by providing a visual search overlay that identifies clickable elements on screen and assigns them keyboard shortcuts on demand.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionShortcat has been actively updated and is available in version 0.12.2 via Homebrew. While the app's Intel-only status is not explicitly confirmed in the available metadata, the current version (v0.12.2) is more recent than the stated "latest known version" (0.7.6). You should update to the latest available version via https://shortcat.app/ or Homebrew, and check the developer's release notes to confirm Apple Silicon support. If the current version remains Intel-only, the app is actively maintained, so native Apple Silicon support may be coming soon. In the meantime, it will continue to run via Rosetta 2. Similar keyboard navigation alternatives include Homerow, Vimac, and Raycast if you need native Apple Silicon support immediately.
