Limelight
Show your keystrokes on a Twitch stream
Viewers love seeing what you press, but they cannot read your mind. Limelight shows your keystrokes on screen so your Twitch audience sees every input live.
On Twitch your viewers see the action but not the keys behind it. Whether you are speedrunning, doing a hotkey-heavy creative stream, or teaching a workflow, people in chat keep asking "what did you just press?"
Limelight runs in your menu bar and shows your keystrokes as a clean on-screen overlay. Press ⌃⌥2 to turn on keystroke display, and every key and shortcut appears on screen. OBS and other capture tools grab the overlay as part of your display capture, so it goes straight to your Twitch stream.
Perfect for streamers who run tutorials, tool-assisted content, or shortcut-heavy creative sessions on a Mac. Keystroke display is a Pro feature.

FAQ
- Will OBS capture the keystroke overlay?
- Yes. Limelight draws on top of your screen, so an OBS display capture or game capture of your monitor picks up the keystroke overlay and sends it to Twitch.
- Does keystroke display slow down my stream?
- No. Limelight is a lightweight native SwiftUI app that only draws a small overlay and works entirely offline.
