One Key. Any App. Instantly.
SnapHotkey gives every app on your Mac a dedicated global hotkey. Press once to focus, press again to hide. No mouse. No Dock.
Free — 3 rules forever. Pro — $9.99, one-time.
Everything a power user needs.
Six features that eliminate friction from your daily workflow.
Zero-latency switching
Hotkeys are handled at the OS level via CGEventTap. The target app is front and focused before your finger leaves the key.
L/R modifier distinction
Left ⌘ and Right ⌘ are separate keys. Same for ⇧, ⌥, and ⌃. Double your usable combinations without conflicts.
Toggle visibility
Press once to show, press again to hide. The app disappears and your previous window regains focus — Quake-terminal style.
Window cycling
Three Finder windows open? Keep pressing the hotkey to cycle through all of them in sequence.
Deep launching
Attach a file path or URL Scheme to any rule. Open VS Code to a project, jump to an Obsidian vault, or load a Chrome profile — one keystroke.
Menu bar only
No Dock icon. Idle CPU near 0%. Runs silently in the background until you need it — for days, weeks, months.
Get started in seconds
No config files. No terminal. Just three steps.
Add a Rule
Click + or drag any app from Finder. SnapHotkey fills in the app name and icon automatically.
Press Your Key
Hit any key combo — including L⌘ vs R⌘. The recorder captures it instantly, no menus needed.
Switch Instantly
From anywhere on your Mac, press the hotkey. The app snaps to front in milliseconds.
Simple pricing. No subscriptions.
Start free. Upgrade once when you're ready.
