Tiny Remap is a lightweight macOS menu bar utility that transparently implements keyboard remapping for your Mac — as simple as it gets. No complicated configuration required. Reassign any key with just two keystrokes and a click.

Note: Tiny Remap does not support remapping of Caps Lock. Modifier keys like Command (⌘), Shift (⇧), Control (⌃), and Option (⌥) can be used in combination with other keys, but cannot be remapped individually.

Features

System-wide

Works in every app — browsers, terminals, editors, native apps. No per-app configuration needed.

Modifier support

Use ⌥ ⌃ ⇧ ⌘ as part of any trigger combination. Complex shortcuts made simple.

Any key

Remap standard keys, function keys (F1–F19), navigation keys, numpad keys, and modifier combinations (⌥ ⌃ ⇧ ⌘).

Dead key composition

Assign a dead key directly, or compose it with a follow-up key into a single trigger.

Two-step setup

Press the trigger key, press the output key, confirm. Active immediately, everywhere.

Instant toggle

Enable or disable all remappings from the menu bar at any time. Your list is always preserved.

Launch at Login

Start automatically at login so your key mappings are always in place when you need them.

Import & Export

Back up and share your full remapping configuration as a .tinyremap file. Layout mismatches are detected automatically.

Menu bar only

No dock icon, no clutter — always out of the way.

Who it's for

Power users who want custom key assignments that work across every app

Developers and writers tired of hunting for special characters

Multilingual typists who need quick access to characters outside their layout

International keyboard users who want to neutralise layout side-effects — like stopping Option+Space from inserting a non-breaking space mid-sentence, converting a dead key into its literal character so it fires immediately, or pre-composing a dead key + follow-up into a single trigger

Anyone who's ever wished a key just did something different

🔒

Privacy first

All input is processed entirely on your Mac. No keystrokes, no data — nothing ever leaves your device. Remappings are stored in a local database only.
