First Keywink release. Keywink is an independent fork of Leader Key with its own app identity, so it can be installed alongside Leader Key.

This build is ad-hoc signed and not notarized. macOS will say it cannot verify the app on first launch. Open it once, then choose System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. Or clear the quarantine flag before launching:

xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Keywink.app

Developer ID signed and notarized builds will follow once Apple has activated the developer account.

Highlights

  • Key Guide launcher: a compact, centered single-column guide with key badges, icons, and the group path in the header. Backspace goes up one level, Escape dismisses.
  • Hyper group shortcuts: bind a global shortcut directly to a top-level group and jump straight into it.
  • Local usage statistics with optional frequency ranking per source application. Counts stay on your Mac.
  • Explicit Leader Key import in Settings → General. Validates the file, backs up the current configuration, and leaves the source untouched.
  • Own identity: Keywink.app, bundle identifier de.niklas-heer.Keywink, keywink:// URL scheme, configuration in ~/Library/Application Support/Keywink.
  • Fix for shortcut recording on recent macOS versions.
