Windsify brings Windows keyboard shortcuts and a native Mac window manager into one menu-bar app. Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V, Alt+Tab, Home/End and Win+Arrow work the Windows way, while Terminal keeps Ctrl+C as interrupt. No modifier swap, app telemetry or account.
I bought a Mac mini during the OpenClaw hype and connected a spare Windows keyboard. My 9-to-5 still happens on Windows, so every time I switched machines my hands were wrong. I kept reaching for shortcuts and window behavior from the other OS, and I hated carrying two sets in my head.
I first tried macOS's built-in Ctrl and Command swap, then Karabiner-Elements for the keyboard and Rectangle for windows. They all helped, but each introduced friction and none fully recreated the Windows experience I wanted.
So I built Windsify, one native macOS menu-bar app that understands both keyboard shortcuts and window management.
Today it includes:
⢠familiar Ctrl shortcuts, Alt+Tab, Alt+F4, and Windows-key actions, while Ctrl+C remains Interrupt in Terminal
⢠Win+Arrow tiling, drag-to-edge previews, fill and restore, and multi-display moves
⢠conflict detection that pauses only the layer overlapping another remapper or window manager
Physical Ctrl remains Ctrl, shortcut processing stays on your Mac, and there is no app telemetry or account.
The Free keyboard layer stays free and is open source under GPL-3.0. Every download includes a 14-day Pro trial. Pro is $14.99 during Early Bird pricing, normally $19.99, as a one-time purchase for up to three Macs.
If you also move between Windows and Mac, I'd love to know: which shortcut or window behavior do you still miss most?
