A small macOS background utility written in Swift that removes the built-in delay when pressing the Caps Lock key. It runs invisibly in the background and is configured via Login Items and Accessibility permissions.
Use cases
- remove caps lock delay on mac
- make caps lock toggle instantly on macbook
- fix annoying caps lock lag on macOS
- disable capslock delay without hidutil
- run a background app to speed up caps lock key
When to choose
- the built-in hidutil CapsLockDelayOverride command does not work on your system
- you want a persistent, installable fix via Homebrew or a release binary
- you are on a supported macOS version like Sequoia and want a set-and-forget utility
When to avoid
- the simple hidutil property command already fixes the delay for you
- you need a GUI with settings or toggles
- you are not on macOS
