Carnac is a Windows keyboard utility that displays keystrokes on screen, useful for presentations, screencasts, and learning keyboard shortcuts. It is a C#/.NET desktop application with automatic updates via Squirrel.Windows.
Use cases
- show keystrokes on screen during a screencast
- display keyboard shortcuts while presenting
- track how I use my keyboard
- overlay pressed keys for tutorial videos
- pause keystroke capture with silent mode
When to choose
- you record screencasts or give live presentations on Windows and want viewers to see your keystrokes
- you want a lightweight, installable Windows utility for on-screen key display
When to avoid
- you are on macOS or Linux
- you need full keylogging analytics rather than on-screen display
- you need a maintained, actively developed tool
