Tap-only Shift detection that doesn't break normal typing or shortcuts.

Strengths
  • Modifier event filtering distinguishes standalone taps from compound keypresses cleanly.
  • App Rules auto-lock specific input methods to designated applications on focus.
  • Zero network access or keystroke recording keeps the privacy footprint minimal.
Weaknesses
  • macOS Ventura 13+ requirement excludes users on older Intel Macs still on Monterey.
  • No Windows or Linux version limits the utility to a single platform ecosystem.
