CheatSheet for Mac is a productivity app developed by Media Atelier that allows users to easily access keyboard shortcuts with just a click of a button. With CheatSheet, users no longer have to memorize all of the different keyboard shortcuts available on their devices, as the app provides a comprehensive cheat sheet for each app, game or program they use.

Overview

The app has become increasingly popular among users and is often included on lists of the most recommended productivity tools, alongside other must-have apps like OnyX. Its small file size, at just over 1MB, makes it a convenient addition to any setup.

Upon installation, the app guides users on how to use it. Once installed, simply hold the Command Key for two seconds and a separate screen will open, displaying all of the keyboard shortcuts available for the particular app, sorted by category and purpose. Users can then choose to key in the command or simply click the shortcut on the panel to execute it.

One of the best features of CheatSheet is its ability to work with almost any app. Users can use it with any app, even if they are not familiar with its keyboard shortcuts. This makes it a convenient companion for people who want to reduce their time spent on clerical work on their devices. By simply holding down the Command Key, they can see all of the available shortcuts for a particular app, eliminating the need to search for commands individually.

While CheatSheet for macOS doesn't work with all apps, it covers most of the apps that the average user needs. There are some apps that don't use or support keyboard shortcuts, while others are not supported by the app. In these cases, pressing the Command Key for more than two seconds will reveal an empty panel. Unfortunately, there is no official list of which apps are supported, so users will need to test if the apps they use have their keyboard shortcuts made accessible.

One of the biggest advantages of using CheatSheet is that it helps users memorize commands in the long run. The app serves as a periodic reminder of these shortcuts, allowing users to become more familiar with the keyboard shortcuts they use more often. This can result in a significant increase in productivity and output for users over time.
