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. The app organizes shortcuts into compact topic-based cards so they are easier to browse, memorize, and revisit when needed. 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.

Safety overview
Status: Safe
Shortcards is a lightweight reference app for learning keyboard shortcuts. It does not present unusual system risk for its purpose, and the App Store listing says the developer does not collect data. Removing it only affects your access to its saved favorites and built-in shortcut reference.
