macOS menu-bar utility
FlicKey learns your input language for every app, every website, even each browser tab, then switches the instant you focus. It's the auto-switching macOS never quite got right. And if you ever slip, one shortcut fixes the gibberish instantly.

01 - See it, try it
FlicKey arms the right input language for each app - watch the menu-bar badge as it switches. Open the FlicKey app from the dock to fix some gibberish yourself.
Terminal
tal@mac ~/code/flickey % git commit -m "ship it"
[main 9f3c2a1] ship it

Double-tap ⇧⇧
A playground to show the idea, not the actual app.
03 - Features
macOS has a per-app input setting. It forgets, lags, and resets. FlicKey is what it should have been.
CORE
Remembers the right input language for every app and switches the moment you focus it. Terminal stays Latin, chat stays Hebrew.
Your browser remembers the language for each website, so the right script is armed before you press a single key.
Slipped anyway? Double-tap ⇧ and the gibberish becomes what you meant - any two layouts, any app.
EN
A live language badge sits in your menu bar, so you always know the active layout at a glance.
04 - How it works
1
Grab the 4.8 MB app and drag it to Applications. No account, no installer wizard.
2
Turn on one toggle in System Settings so FlicKey can read and rewrite the text you type.
3
Type away. Double-tap ⇧ whenever you slip, and let auto-switching handle the rest.
05 - Privacy & security
It's a tiny local utility. Nothing about you ever leaves your Mac.
It only stores tiny preferences - which layout you like per app, website, and chat. No documents, no messages, no keystrokes.
No sign-in, no analytics, no telemetry. It never reports what you do - there's no server to report to.
The only connection it makes is a version check to GitHub - and it sends nothing about you.
Two macOS permissions, each for one clear job. Tap a row to see exactly what it does - and doesn't.
06 - Pricing
Free. Forever.
Download it, use it, keep it. Every feature works for everyone - no account, no cost, no catch.
Almost nothing. After a week, FlicKey may gently ask whether you'd like to chip in. It never stops working and nothing is taken away.
If FlicKey saves you time, you can support the project. Entirely optional - the app is fully yours either way. 💙
Free, tiny, and native. Built for everyone who lives across two keyboards - or five.
