What is Rekey?

Rekey is a macOS menu bar app that fixes text typed in the wrong keyboard layout. When a word is finished, Rekey checks it against the languages of the installed layouts using dictionaries and letter-sequence statistics. If the word was typed in the wrong layout, Rekey replaces it and switches the input source, so the next word comes out right. No hotkey or selection is needed.

Short words that could belong to either language are held until the next word before a decision is made. Pressing Cmd+Z within five seconds reverts a correction and adds the word to an ignore list. Layouts can also be switched by hand with a double tap of Shift or another modifier shortcut. Password fields, terminals and code editors are excluded by default, any app can be added to the exclusion list, and text that looks like a URL, a path or code is skipped.

Rekey supports 34 languages across Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Arabic, Armenian, Georgian, Korean and Thai scripts, including Ukrainian, Polish, German, Czech and Greek. It works with any set of installed layouts, not only English paired with Russian. Typed text is processed on the Mac and never sent anywhere.

Rekey is a native Swift app for macOS 13 Ventura or later, a single universal build for Apple Silicon and Intel. It is free, needs no account, and is currently in public beta.
