TyperMate

macOS is powerful—but if you work in multiple languages, it can feel clunky. After learning my third language and switching between macOS and Windows at work, I wanted something better. So I built TyperMate to make input switching and navigation effortless.

• Fast, predictable switching - Switch to any input source instantly with custom hotkeys. A clear popup shows exactly which input method you’re using—no guessing.
• Windows-style navigation - Love shortcuts like Home/End to jump lines or Enter to open files? TyperMate brings these familiar behaviors to macOS.
• Clear input display - Icons aren’t enough. See your input method as text for clarity—perfect for juggling multiple languages.
• Lightweight & private - Runs fully offline. Your data stays on your Mac, always.
• Persistent input popup - Never wonder what you’re switching to—even if you use three or more languages.

Per-Input Hotkeys + Popup Confirmation

Assign a global hotkey to any input source and switch instantly. A small, non-intrusive popup shows the active input method so you always know what you’re typing with.

Familiar Navigation & Finder Keys

Optionally remap Home/End to jump to line start/end, and (in Finder) make Enter open files while F2 renames—so macOS can feel more like the workflow you expect.

Launch At Login & Privacy-Focused

Run at login for instant availability. TyperMate is lightweight, runs locally, and does not send data over the network.

Internationalization (i18n)

Use the app in your language — TyperMate supports localization.

• Multilingual users who switch between multiple input methods every day
• Developers and writers who want fast, efficient text navigation
• Anyone frustrated by macOS’s input method quirks
