Key Features

Seek & Click

The standout feature. Type what you see on screen and Superkey uses OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to find and click it — no mouse needed. It can also parse accessibility information for apps that expose UI elements to the macOS Accessibility API.

Hyperkey

Converts Caps Lock (or any modifier key) into a hyper key — all four modifiers combined (⌃⌥⌘⇧). This effectively gives you an extra modifier key to use across all apps with keyboard shortcuts.

Power User Presets

A set of checkbox-based remappings for maximizing keyboard efficiency, such as mapping left shift + right shift to toggle Caps Lock.

Permissions

Superkey requires Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions:

  • Screen Recording is used only for Seek (takes a screenshot to find text).
  • Accessibility is needed to detect keystrokes and execute clicks.
  • No telemetry, no tracking, no data stored to disk.

Remap Caps Lock to Seek, enable "only show while held" so it feels like a keyboard shortcut to click text. Use semicolon to cycle through results, and enable the left shift + right shift = Caps Lock preset.
