Version 1.0.0

FnKeyboard v1.0

A lightweight macOS menu-bar utility that puts the Mac function keys (F1–F12) at your fingertips.

Highlights

• Menu-bar only — no Dock icon, no windows, just a clean ⌨️ in your status bar
• Tap to trigger — click any keycap to fire the real system action (brightness, media, volume, etc.)
• Physical key detection — highlights keys as you press them on your keyboard
• Native look — SF Symbols, hover animations, and automatic light/dark mode support
• Tiny footprint — ~1 MB, no dependencies, pure Swift + SwiftUI

Requirements

• macOS 13.0 (Ventura) or later
• Input Monitoring permission (prompted on first launch)
