- Is it privacy‑focused?
- Yes. KeyScreen works entirely on your Mac—no data is sent online. When typing in a password field, KeyScreen doesn't receive those key events at all, so sensitive input never appears.
- Are there any offers going on?
- We offer a 50% discount to businesses and educational institutions when they purchase 20 or more copies of the app through Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager, respectively.
- Does it work well for screen recordings?
- Yes. KeyScreen overlays are designed for clarity in recordings and streams, with adjustable opacity, fonts, sizes, and more.
- Which macOS versions does it support?
- It runs on macOS 15 and later, that is, macOS Sequoia and above.
