App switcher

Every new app claims another shortcut, forces another awkward combo. Your best keys are taken. You're left remembering things instead of doing them. HyperCap reclaims your keyboard. Caps Lock + any key is yours, conflict-free. Fully customisable, with Apple Shortcuts for unlimited actions — including AI workflows. Forgot what you mapped? Double-tap Caps Lock for a live overlay. Never lose a thought — the research notebook saves selected text with source app and URL, without switching apps.

Hey Product Hunt! Jacob here — solo founder of Nexius Lab and the developer behind HyperCap. I built this around one obsession: staying in the flow. Every time you open a menu, switch apps, or retype something you've typed a hundred times — you break it. HyperCap fixes that. Remap Caps Lock to a hyperkey, hold it + any key, and the action fires instantly — right where you are. The feature I'm most proud of is the research notebook. See something worth saving? One keypress captures the text, the app you were in, and the browser URL — without ever leaving what you're doing. That's the whole philosophy. Act on a thought now. Don't go anywhere. As your workflow evolves, let HyperCap evolve with you — fully customisable shortcuts, Apple Shortcuts integration, and as many actions as your day demands. And take back your time — every phrase you retype, every menu you dig through, every awkward combo you half-remember can become a single keypress. Map it once. Stay in the flow. As a thank-you to the Product Hunt community — use code PHHYPER for 30% off on launch day. That's $13, one-time, forever. 14-day free trial, no credit card. What would YOU put on your hyperkey?

@jabohabo that research notebook feature sounds like a lifesaver for anyone doing heavy documentation. capturing the url and the app automatically without switching tabs is a massive win. definitely checking out the trial today. Great

The research notebook is the killer feature here. Capturing text + source app + URL without switching context is exactly the kind of thing that sounds small but saves you 20 minutes a day. I built a focus timer and the hardest part was figuring out how to keep people in the zone. You nailed the philosophy. Does the overlay work well with full-screen apps?

@thenomadcode thank you for the comment! Very appreciated. And good synergy with your focus app. Will try it. Happy that you like the notebook. It's the feature that I'm adding the most features to in the next releases. A notebook widget is almost there among other features..

The overlay solves a real problem. People forget shortcuts quickly. This makes it easier to stick with.

If you could have one personal shortcut key — what would it do?

I've been thinking a lot about how many tiny actions we repeat dozens of times a day typing our email, inserting today's date, pasting something without the formatting, saving a quote we just read.

None of them are hard. But they all pull you out of what you were doing.

A fun question: if you had one dedicated key on your keyboard that did exactly one thing just for you, nothing else what would it do?

Could be practical (type your email, open a specific app), could be wild (trigger a dramatic Slack status, send a pre-written passive-aggressive reply), could be deeply specific to your job.
