Karabiner-EventViewer is a free utility for macOS developers and power users who use the Karabiner keyboard remapping software. It captures and displays keyboard and mouse events in real time, showing the raw event data that Karabiner receives before it processes them through custom remapping rules. This is essential for debugging complex key bindings, verifying that a physical keyboard sends the signals you expect, troubleshooting why a remap isn't working as intended, and understanding how Karabiner interprets your hardware. The app runs as a companion to Karabiner itself and is primarily used by enthusiasts setting up advanced keyboard layouts or assistive technology configurations.

1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon (Universal Binary) build of Karabiner-EventViewer has been confirmed running on real Macs in the Rosetta Check community. Anyone still on an older Intel-only build under Rosetta should update to the latest version directly from the Karabiner website, which will serve the native build. The native version uses noticeably less CPU when capturing events continuously and is fully compatible with the latest versions of Karabiner itself. Simply download and reinstall the app from the official source; your Karabiner configuration will not be affected.
