How it works
Two ways to learn, zero effort required
Cheatr watches which app is in front and knows its shortcuts. Hold Command and a sheet appears with every shortcut available. Use a menu or toolbar button instead of a shortcut and Cheatr shows a nudge with the faster way. Once you use the shortcut yourself, the nudge graduates and never appears again.
Shortcut sheet
Hold Command in any app to see a complete list of its keyboard shortcuts. Release to dismiss.
Coaching nudge
Click a menu item the slow way and Cheatr shows the shortcut you could have used. A gentle reminder, not a nag.
Graduation
Use the shortcut once and the nudge retires permanently. Cheatr only teaches what you have not yet learned.
Time saved
Cheatr tracks how much time your learned shortcuts have saved you. A quiet reward for building better habits.
