Uncap your keyboard,
mouse, and Mac

A Hyper Key, modifier chords, window management and more
in one lightweight macOS app.

Flagship

The Hyper Key

Turn Caps Lock into ⇧⌃⌥⌘ — one key behind every shortcut, with nothing left to clash.

One key, every modifier

Hold Caps Lock to fire ⇧⌃⌥⌘ — a combination nothing else uses, so your shortcuts never clash.

Tap for a second action

A quick tap can switch input source, send Escape, or toggle Caps Lock; hold it for the Hyper Key.

Tuned to your hands

Set the tap timing, show an on-screen input indicator, and auto-recover after other keyboard tools quit.

Two more keys

Meh and Phew, your backup chords

Not enough with one conflict-free key? Add two more, each a single key that stands in for three modifiers at once.

The Meh Key

Hold it to fire ⌘⌥⇧ — a three-modifier chord almost nothing else claims.

The Phew Key

A companion key for ⌃⌘⇧, giving you a third personal shortcut layer.

Your keys, your triggers

Map each to any spare key and pair it with anything to invent shortcuts.

Home-row navigation

Arrow keys, without the reach

Hold the Hyper Key and H J K L become in every app.

Keep your hands on the home row while you edit — a browser field, a note, an email, anywhere you’d reach for an arrow. It’s the muscle memory Vim users swear by, brought to your whole Mac.

Mouse buttons

Put your spare buttons to work

Capture the middle and side buttons and point them at anything Uncapped can do.

Four kinds of action

A button can type a shortcut, snap a window, run a system command, or fire a trackpad gesture.

Modifiers and movement multiply

Hold , , , or flick the mouse as you press, and each combination becomes its own trigger.

Third-party mice too

Standard buttons and the extra buttons on third-party mice are both fair game.

Trackpad gestures

Gestures, now on the keyboard

Switch desktops, open Mission Control, or swipe between pages — from a shortcut you choose.

Every multi-finger gesture gets a home on your keyboard, so the moves work even with a mouse, or when your hand never leaves the keys. Your real gestures keep working too.

App shortcuts

Speed-dial for every app

One key combination launches an app — or jumps straight to it if it’s already open.

Give Mail, your browser, and your terminal each their own global shortcut and land in any app instantly, from anywhere. No Dock-hunting, no window-shuffling.

Window management

Snap windows without the mouse

Halves, quarters, center, full screen — all from a single chord.

Press your shortcut and the front window jumps exactly where you want it, respecting the menu bar, the Dock, and whichever display it sits on. Pair it with the Hyper Key and layout lives on the key you already hold.

System commands

Run your Mac from the keyboard

Sleep, lock, empty the Trash, change the volume — on shortcuts you choose.

Put the everyday Mac commands you reach for on global shortcuts that fire from any app, no menu-diving required. Assign only the ones you want.

Uncapped System settings

Private by design

See how much you lean on it

A live, personal tally of every action you’ve triggered — and the features you reach for most.

Watch the numbers tick up as you work. Everything is counted and kept entirely on your Mac — never uploaded, shared, or synced.

About Stats →

Settings

Set it up once, stay out of the way

Launch at login, plus a built-in watch for other apps that fight for your keyboard.

Uncapped flags keyboard customizers and automation tools that might collide with your remapping, so a misbehaving shortcut always has an obvious suspect.
