Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Noriyuki Goto, founder of AuraMark Studio and the maker of HyperCaps.
I built HyperCaps because I was tired of "finger gymnastics." As a developer, I found myself constantly contorting my hand to hit complex shortcuts (Cmd+Opt+Shift...), all while the biggest, easiest-to-reach key on my keyboard—CapsLock—sat there doing absolutely nothing.
I wanted a solution that felt native to macOS, didn't require complex configurations (looking at you, Karabiner), and respected my privacy. So, I built HyperCaps with SwiftUI.
HyperCaps turns your CapsLock into a productivity superpower:
🪄 Hyper Key: Hold CapsLock to trigger ⌘⌥⌃⇧.
🚀 Vim Mode: Hold CapsLock + H/J/K/L for arrow keys (my personal favorite).
🧠 Smart Tap: Tap quickly for Escape (or CapsLock).
It’s lightweight, fast, and designed to keep your hands on the home row.
I’d love to know:
What is the one keyboard shortcut that always breaks your flow? Let me know in the comments! 👇

Thanks for checking it out! ⌨️✨
Reliability is the make-or-break factor for key remappers: what engineering or design choices did you make to avoid common failure modes like stuck modifiers, sleep/wake glitches, Secure Input interference, or macOS update regressions?
Hey there!! Congrats on your launch!!
Since Hyper key is great for window managers (Rectangle, Magnet, etc.) and custom shortcuts, have you tested compatibility with heavy Karabiner users or other remappers?
Any edge cases where conflicts pop up, or tips for smooth layering?
