Why We Built This

Keyboards are built for right hands. We fixed that in software.

Every hardware keyboard puts Enter and Backspace on the far right — a daily stretch if you lead with your left hand. Meanwhile CapsLock and Tab, keys most people rarely lean on, sit in the best real estate on the left. LeftyKeys simply trades them: CapsLock becomes Enter, Tab becomes Backspace, system-wide, in every app. No hardware to buy, no layout to relearn, no config file to babysit. It installs in under a minute, runs silently in the background, and makes no permanent changes — quit the app and your keyboard is exactly as it was. Built for left-handed writers, developers, and students who just want their keyboard to stop fighting them.

Roughly 1 in 10 people is left-handed

That's hundreds of millions of typists using a keyboard laid out for the other hand. LeftyKeys quietly evens the odds.

CapsLock is the keyboard's most wasted key

Most people hit it by accident more often than on purpose — which makes it perfect real estate to reclaim for Enter.

Your default keys return the instant you quit

LeftyKeys never rewrites your system settings. It swaps keys live, so quitting the app restores every default immediately.
