Flic Key is a free macOS menu bar app that automatically switches keyboard layouts based on which app or website you're using. The utility remembers your preferred input language for each application and browser tab, then switches instantly when you focus on them. No more gibberish from typing Hebrew in Terminal or English in chat windows.

The app stores language preferences per-app and per-website, ensuring the right script is ready before you type. If you slip up anyway, double-tapping ⇧ fixes wrong-layout text in any application. A menu bar badge shows the current layout at a glance. The 4.8 MB download requires no account or installer wizard.

Setup takes about 30 seconds with just two macOS permissions. Accessibility access lets Flic Key read and rewrite text for corrections. Privacy is built-in since it only stores tiny layout preferences locally with no analytics, telemetry, or data collection. The only network call checks for updates on GitHub.

Every feature works free forever with optional support after a week. It's a native solution for anyone juggling multiple keyboard layouts daily. No subscription, no locked features, no catch - just reliable automatic switching that macOS should have had natively.

Built for polyglots and multilingual developers who constantly switch between scripts. The double-tap ⇧ correction alone saves countless retype sessions.
