Does KeyTracker work with DaVinci Resolve?

Yes. KeyTracker was designed primarily for 100% keyboard-based workflows in DaVinci Resolve, but it also works with other macOS and Windows applications.

What is the difference between the Free version and the Pro version?

The Free version includes real-time tracking, Dual Overlay, TXT preset import and simple PNG export. The Pro version adds advanced functions such as extended exports, floating panels and extra options for streaming.

Does KeyTracker send keyboard data to a server?

No. Session data stays local on the user's machine. However, you should avoid leaving the overlay active while entering sensitive information.

Who is it for?

One tool, three communities

KeyTracker was designed for 100% keyboard-driven creative workflows: DaVinci Resolve first, but it proved useful far beyond that.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Does KeyTracker work with any application?

Yes. KeyTracker captures inputs at system level on macOS and Windows: it works with DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Blender, games, and any desktop application.

Is it compatible with my AZERTY layout?

Yes. The French ISO AZERTY layout has been crafted with precise pixel-by-pixel work. It is one of the best-supported layouts in the tool: designed by a French-speaking user.

What is the difference between Free and Pro?

The Free version provides real-time tracking, preset import (.txt), Dual Overlay, and simple PNG export. The Pro version adds Streamer Mode (transparency), advanced exports (Json, Csv, Txt, Pdf), and floating side panels.

Does KeyTracker record what I type?

KeyTracker records the keys pressed during the active session. No data is sent to any server. Everything stays local on your machine. Be careful not to stream passwords while the overlay is active.

How do I import my DaVinci Resolve or gameplay shortcuts?

In DaVinci Resolve, go to Keyboard Customization / Export. You will get your preset as a .txt file. Do the same for your other software or video games. And for those that cannot export: create a simple TXT file with your bindings in the format Action := KEY, then one line per shortcut. Import these presets via the IMPORT button in the interface. The shortcuts will then appear in the Session Log and in the Active Panel (below your virtual keyboard).

Is it available on macOS?

Yes. KeyTracker is available on macOS · Windows 10 / 11.
