Hi HN!

In my day to day, I switch between my Windows PC and Macbook often. One thing I find annoying is having to change what keyboard shortcuts I use depending on the OS (e.g. cmd+c vs ctrl+c for copying). It confuses my muscle memory and slows me down.

I first tried using AutoHotkey to bind MacOS-like shortcuts to Windows shortcuts. This worked, but it was hard to configure. I would also have to quit AutoHotkey to get past Anti-Cheat software on some games.

So I decided to create this app in case others also face the same issues as me.

Disclaimer: I built this app using Claude Code. I don't have much experience building windows apps so it would've been difficult to make this on my own.
