## What it is
KeyboardHolder is a macOS utility that automatically switches the input method (IME) when you switch between applications, websites, or contexts. It lets you configure per-app and per-domain input method rules and shows visual indicators of the active input method.

## Use cases
- automatically switch input method when switching apps on macos
- use english input in terminal and chinese input in browser automatically
- set default input method per website domain
- show current input method indicator near the text cursor
- stop typing wrong-language characters after app switches

## When to choose
- you work in a non-English language environment and constantly switch between English and native-language input
- you want per-app or per-domain input method rules on macOS
- you use launchers like Alfred or Raycast and want consistent input behavior

## When to avoid
- you only type in English and never switch input methods
- you need input method switching on Windows or Linux
- you want a system-wide single input method rather than context-aware switching
