About:
KeyboardHolder is a macOS utility that automatically switches the input method based on the currently active application. It helps users maintain consistent keyboard layouts across different workflows, eliminating the need to manually toggle languages. This tool is particularly valuable for multilingual users or developers who work with multiple input sources.
Key Features:
  • Automatic input method switching per application
  • Customizable rules and profiles
  • System-wide integration with macOS
  • Lightweight background operation
  • Support for multiple input sources
Use Cases:
  • Multilingual users switching between English and native language keyboards
  • Developers alternating between programming and natural language input
  • Users with specialized keyboard layouts for different applications
Alternatives:
  • macOS native input source switching – Manual switching required, no per-application automation
  • Keyboard Layout Manager tools – More complex configuration, less focused on automatic switching
