The Home tab shows the typed trigger formula, confirm mode, and launcher shortcuts.

Keyshift runs in your system tray and works in almost any app where you can type or select text — browsers, Word, Slack, Notion, VS Code, and more.

  1. 1

    Download the installer for Windows or macOS from keyshift.ai and complete setup.

  2. 2

    Open Keyshift from the tray or menu bar and sign in when prompted (your browser opens once to connect the desktop app).

  3. 3

    On macOS, grant Accessibility when asked — required for shortcuts and pasting results. For the typed keyshift trigger, also enable Input Monitoring (see Permissions guide).

  4. 4

    Try your first transform: select a sentence in any app, press Ctrl+Shift+G (default fix shortcut), and wait for the text to update.

Thank you for the proposal. I think we should move forward with the Q2 timeline.

Ctrl+Shift+G
Select text anywhere, then press your shortcut (e.g. Ctrl+Shift+G for fix).

No selection?

Type your text, add keyshift plus an instruction (e.g. keyshift fix grammar), then press space twice. See the keyshift trigger guide.
