What is Shortcards?

Shortcards is a reference and learning app for Mac keyboard shortcuts. It helps Mac users quickly review common shortcuts for macOS features, Finder navigation, text editing, window management, and other everyday tasks.

Users can mark important cards as favorites for faster access to the shortcuts they use most often. Shortcards is also available on iPhone, which makes it useful for keeping a shortcut reference nearby while working on a Mac. It is published by Coding Friends GmbH and is designed for people who want to work more efficiently by learning practical keyboard commands.
