The Street Fighter of Shortcut Managers. The Keyboard Hack for Windows Users Living at Mach 10 🥋
Transform your keyboard into a productivity powerhouse with frame-perfect execution and combo mastery. Born from the frustration of Windows users who needed more speed, more control, and more power than PowerToys could deliver. If you've ever felt held back by your keyboard, this is your nitro boost.
Built with ❤️ by Seismic • Doug Silkstone
Mac users have their Hyperkey. Windows users have... PowerToys? Not anymore. We started with a simple mission to rebind Caps Lock, then realized Windows power users deserved more. Much more. HyperCaps is built for those who type at the speed of thought and need their tools to keep up.

HyperCaps takes security seriously:
- No keylogging
- No network communication (except for future opt-in cloud sync)
- All keyboard processing happens locally
- Open source for transparency
Yes, technically speaking. HyperCaps needs to monitor keyboard input to provide its functionality - that's exactly why:
- We're 100% open source - every line of code is here for you to audit
- Zero network activity - your keystrokes never leave your machine
- Minimal data retention - we only track active keys for remapping
- Local processing only - everything happens on your PC
- You can build it yourself - clone, audit, and compile your own version
PowerToys is great, but it's limited. HyperCaps offers:
- More flexible key combinations
- Better CapsLock handling
- Faster response time
- Upcoming scripting support
- Focus on speed and power users
No. HyperCaps is designed for speed demons - we use:
- Efficient low-level Windows APIs
- Minimal memory footprint
- Optimized event processing
- No background tasks when idle
HyperCaps can be instantly toggled off with a hotkey, and automatically disables itself when games are in focus (coming soon). No interference with your gaming sessions.
