LayFlip

Wrong layout? Fixed on Space.

Typed a word with the wrong keyboard language on? LayFlip retypes it in the right one when you press Space. For Mac, English plus nine languages, paid once.

Input source

Click and type ghbdtn, then Space

This demo knows only English and Russian. The app works with all ten languages below.

How it works

  1. ghbdtn

    You type

    As usual, in any app. No hotkey to remember.

  2. Space

    LayFlip fixes it on Space

    The word is retyped in the right layout, and the input source switches with it.

  3. ⇧⇧

    Double Shift undoes it

    Wanted it as typed? Press Shift twice: the word goes back and LayFlip remembers it. The same keys flip a word LayFlip left alone.

Stays out of your way

Fixes on Space, not on Enter
A word is fixed when you finish it with Space or punctuation. Enter sends your text exactly as you see it.
Leaves passwords and code alone
Password fields are never touched. In terminals, code editors and password managers autocorrect is off by default and only the keys work, and in password managers it can never be turned on. Any app's mode can be changed from the LayFlip menu.
Keeps your clipboard
When you flip selected text with double Shift, whatever you copied before stays in the clipboard.
Light on your Mac
Under 50 MB of memory and next to no CPU when idle.
Warns about other switchers
Another layout switcher running? LayFlip tells you, so words are not fixed twice.

English and nine more languages

Fixed automatically between English and seven of them. Macedonian and Serbian flip on double Shift: typed in Latin, they are often real words.

Your text stays on your Mac.

LayFlip checks words against dictionaries built into the app. What you type is never sent anywhere.

Apple checked it for malicious software and none was detected.

What macOS shows the first time you open LayFlip
  • Notarized by Apple

    Signed with an Apple Developer ID and checked by Apple, so macOS opens it without warnings.

  • Signed updates

    Every update is signed, and LayFlip checks the signature before it installs one.

  • Online only for your license and updates

    The app contacts layflip.com only to register your license and to check for updates.

  • Two permissions from macOS

    macOS will ask you to allow Accessibility and Input Monitoring: without them LayFlip cannot see keys or retype a word. You can turn them off any time in System Settings.
