Have you seen some of these keyboards that they've come up with? Keyboards used to just have, you know, keys. Now, they're loaded with all sorts of buttons, switches, and toggles -- all in the name of controlling your music and video playback, launching applications, and performing all manner of other tasks. It all results in an overloaded, ugly peripheral that locks you in to whatever functions those buttons are intended to perform. Why not achieve the same goals, but with much greater flexibility, with Shortcuts?
Shortcuts lets you create keyboard shortcuts to launch applications, frequent actions, files and scripts, and your favorite websites! Best of all, you're never locked into these shortcuts -- you can reconfigure them to suit changes in your workflow at any time -- such is the beauty of Shortcuts!
Shortcuts isn't limited to controlling apps and websites. You can also use it to create keyboard combinations to control volume, media navigation, even system functions like Sleep, Restart, and Shutdown! And you can do all of this using your existing keyboard, without having to deal with a plethora of dedicated hardwired buttons!

- “Very nifty little tool. My keyboard lacks the play/pause/next keys, but with the help of this app, I can easily bind any key to do the task.”- vpetersson, Mac App Store
- “I just installed it and found it to be useful immediately. Apple already has a general menu for this as well, but it is convoluted and a pain to navigate. This is a good solution.”- Foolagain, Mac App Store
- “This program is great. It is simple to use and gets the job done the way better than Quicksilver.”- Steven King, Mac App Store
- “If you like keyboard only usage, you can't go wrong with this. For instance, I regularly need to turn my wifi on and off. So I downloaded an Apple script from the web that would do this and simply assigned a global shortcut to it. One keystroke now turns my wifi on or off.”- 2020vision, Mac App Store
