Release list
HotkeySpy v1.1
Adds a Settings window (opened from the menu's Settings… button) with three preferences:
- Launch at login — start HotkeySpy automatically when you log in (best-effort on this unsigned build; most reliable once the app is signed and in /Applications).
- Show notifications — turn the per-detection popups on/off (the menu-bar log always records regardless).
- Keep last N events — choose how many recent events the log holds (25–500, default 100).
Also: a larger, scrollable menu log.
Install (unsigned): download HotkeySpy.app.zip, unzip, right-click → Open the first time, then grant Accessibility in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. Requires macOS 13+.
HotkeySpy v1.0
First release — a menu-bar app that detects modifier-combo (⌘/⌃/⌥) key presses and flags whether each came from your physical keyboard or was posted by software, to catch "ghost" hotkeys.
Install (unsigned build):
- Download
HotkeySpy.app.zipbelow and unzip. - Right-click → Open the first time (Gatekeeper blocks a normal double-click on unsigned apps), then confirm.
- Click the menu-bar eye icon → Grant Accessibility… and enable HotkeySpy in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility.
Requires macOS 13 (Ventura) or newer. Uses a listen-only event tap — it never blocks or records normal typing. Or build from source: swift run HotkeySpy.
