January 28, 2026 ยท View on GitHub
Keyviz is a free and open-source tool that visualizes your keypresses and mouse actions in real-time. Let your audience know what handy shortcuts you're pressing during tutorials, presentations, collaborations, or whenever you need.
โจ๏ธ Keypress & ๐ฑ๏ธ Mouse Actions
Along with normal keys, you can also visualize mouse actions like Cmd + Click, Alt + Drag, etc.
Display mouse clicks and scroll wheel movements alongside your cursor.

Don't settle for defaults. Every aspect of the visualization is under your control:
- Styling: Change colors (modifier vs. regular keys), size, layout, border, and background.
- Filtering: Control which keys are shown using hotkey or custom filters.
