Settings

Open settings from the menu bar popover or with ⌘, in the main window.

General​

  • Launch at login. Keyed starts with macOS via SMAppService — no helper app, no Login Items pane juggling.
  • Enabled. Master switch for expansion. Also accessible from the menu bar popover.
  • Accessibility status. Live indicator of whether Keyed has the Accessibility permission it needs. If it is revoked, this view provides a one-click path to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.

Excluded apps​

Apps in this list never receive expansions. Keyed ships with sensible defaults (1Password, Bitwarden, Terminal, iTerm2, and similar) and lets you add or remove apps freely. Exclusions match by bundle identifier, so renamed apps still behave correctly.

Snippets​

Snippets are managed from the main window, not the settings window. See Using Keyed for the full tour.

Privacy​

  • No telemetry. No accounts. No cloud sync.
  • Keystrokes are matched against your snippet library in-process; nothing is logged or sent off the device.
  • The Accessibility permission is used only for the keystroke event tap required by CGEventTap.
  • The app is unsandboxed (required for CGEventTap) and is therefore not distributed via the Mac App Store. Direct download and Homebrew are the supported channels.
