## What it is
Unshaky is a macOS menubar application that fixes the double key press issue on Apple's butterfly keyboards by dismissing key presses that occur within a configurable delay after a previous one. It is written in Swift and is now in maintenance mode with only bug fixes.

## Use cases
- stop my macbook keyboard from typing double letters
- fix double key press on butterfly keyboard without repair
- debounce a flaky key on macbook pro 2016
- software fix for sticky or repeating keys on macbook air 2018
- prevent accidental duplicate keystrokes on macbook

## When to choose
- you have a MacBook with a butterfly keyboard exhibiting double key presses
- you want a free, open-source software fix instead of a costly keyboard replacement
- you need a lightweight menubar utility with no data collection

## When to avoid
- you are on macOS 10.15.6 or later where it may not work without workarounds
- you need actively maintained software with new features
- your keyboard issue is hardware failure beyond double presses
