KeyClu is a macOS utility that shows the keyboard shortcuts for the app you are using, helping you discover and learn commands faster.
What is KeyClu?
KeyClu is a macOS utility for viewing keyboard shortcuts available in the currently active app. It is designed for people who want to learn shortcuts, work faster, and keep common commands visible without digging through menus. You can trigger an on-screen shortcut panel, search within the list, bookmark useful shortcuts, and hide ones you already know. The app also supports custom shortcuts, a persistent panel option, and integrations for showing macOS shortcuts and gestures. KeyClu runs on macOS 11 or later and uses Accessibility permission so it can detect which app is currently in focus. Published by Sergii Tatarenkov, it fits best for users who want a lightweight shortcut reference tool on Mac.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
KeyClu is a normal Mac utility for shortcut discovery. It requires Accessibility permission to detect the active app and read menu information, which is expected for this type of tool. That permission is broad, so install it only if you want its shortcut overlay features and review the app's access in Privacy & Security settings if you stop using it. Removing the app will simply stop its shortcut panel and related settings from working.
Recommendation: Keep KeyClu if you actively use shortcut overlays or are learning keyboard commands on your Mac. If you no longer use it, you can remove it without affecting macOS beyond losing its shortcut reference features and saved preferences.
