About:
SwitchKey is a macOS utility that enables per-application keyboard layout switching. It automatically changes the input source based on the currently active application, eliminating the need to manually switch layouts when moving between different programs.
Key Features:
  • Automatic keyboard layout switching per application
  • System-wide hotkey support for manual switching
  • Lightweight background operation with minimal resource usage
  • Simple configuration through the menu bar interface
Use Cases:
  • Developers working with multiple programming languages and keyboard layouts
  • Multilingual users switching between different language input methods
  • Writers and content creators managing multiple language workflows
Alternatives:
  • Keyboard Layout Switcher – More complex configuration but offers additional automation features
  • macOS native input source switching – Manual switching required, lacks per-application automation
