ShowMeYourHotKeys
ShowMeYourHotKeys is a macOS utility that displays keyboard shortcuts for the active app and helps you find, filter, and customize them.
What is ShowMeYourHotKeys?
ShowMeYourHotKeys is a macOS utility for viewing the menu shortcuts of the app you are currently using. It helps Mac users learn keyboard shortcuts faster by showing available commands in an on-screen window, either temporarily while a key is held or in a persistent panel. You can filter shortcut lists by menu title or modifier keys, keep favorite shortcuts at the top, and browse saved hotkeys in a built-in database. The app also supports creating custom shortcuts for some menu items and can generate PDF cheat sheets for reference or printing. ShowMeYourHotKeys is published by Mox Adventu and is designed for keyboard-focused Mac workflows, presentations, and daily productivity.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
ShowMeYourHotKeys is a legitimate shortcut helper for macOS. For its main purpose, it may need accessibility-related permission to read app menus and show available shortcuts, which is normal for this kind of utility. If you use features that inspect menus across apps or display keys on screen, grant only the permissions you want it to use and review those permissions later in macOS Settings if your needs change.
Recommendation: Keep ShowMeYourHotKeys if you actively use keyboard shortcuts, want shortcut overlays, or need quick reference while working or presenting. If you no longer use it, you can remove it without affecting macOS, though you may lose any saved shortcut database, bookmarks, customizations, or generated reference workflow tied to the app.
