  • Today, we’re doing something bold with Button. We’re opening its information to you.
  • Introducing Button 3.0: Editing, Crowdsourcing, and Auto Sync.
  • Now, you can add, edit, and remove information in Button. Add shortcuts, documentation, or best practices. Everyone’s edits are yours to use.

  • Editing, Crowdsourcing, and Auto Sync require a new subscription. Purchases of Button now include a one year subscription. Existing customers get one month free. After expiration, Button will still work wonderfully with the information you have. Subscription renewals will be available in Settings for $99.99 per year.

New in Button Shortcuts 2.2.1 (Sep 23, 2019)

  • Existing users are reporting an error that says “In-app purchase is not supported” when activating the new in-app purchases. We hope this update resolves the issue, but if it doesn’t, here’s a workaround: Delete Button from your Applications folder in Finder (requires your password, don’t delete it from launchpad or it’ll erase your favorites!), then reinstall Button from the Mac App Store. After this, you’ll be able to purchase without a problem. Thanks for your support guys! :)

New in Button Shortcuts 2.2 (Sep 23, 2019)

  • To continue to subsist off of ramen noodles, we've changed the free offering and added two new paid tiers of service.
  • Free:
  • Access shortcuts for your current app by double-tapping command
  • Drag Button anywhere on your screen and resize as you please
  • Clarity ($2.99/month):
  • Quickly find shortcuts by searching
  • Track your progress by marking shortcuts you've learned
  • Remember shortcuts more easily by favoriting them
  • Power User Interface (PUI) ($7.99/month):
  • Everything in Clarity plus...
  • Control your apps directly through Button. Press Return when a shortcut is selected to perform it. Use with caution.

New in Button Shortcuts 2.1 (Sep 6, 2019)

  • Introducing the Power User Interface (PUI): Execute shortcuts directly through Button. Also — shortcuts navigation for Button has finally arrived!
  • Shortcuts Navigation:
  • The shortcuts app finally has its own shortcuts. Navigate Button seamlessly with a few dope hotkeys that'll make you even more buttery smooth when using your programs.
  • Power User Interface (PUI) (Requires purchase):
  • Get your defibrillators ready. You can now control your apps directly through Button. Just press Return when a shortcut is selected to perform it. Use with caution.

New in Button Shortcuts 2.0.2 (Sep 2, 2019)

  • We reverted the hotkey scheme after the new scheme turned out to be terrible.
  • Just double-tap command to open and close like the good old days.
  • There was also an issue where shortcuts would show up blank. We fixed that too.

New in Button Shortcuts 2.0.1 (Aug 23, 2019)

  • We missed telling existing users how to hide Button in v2.0:
  • Hold shift and double-tap command
  • Issues fixed:
  • The double-tap hotkey wasn't working with Caps Lock enabled
  • Some programs like Sketch weren't being recognized

New in Button Shortcuts 2.0 (Aug 20, 2019)

  • Button has changed quite a bit since it was launched from the back of a college lecture almost 3 years ago: we added the double-tap command hotkey to instantly show shortcuts for your current program, made favorites and knowns prioritize what you do and don't see first, and expanded program support from a meager 7 to over 140. None of this would've happened without the great convos we've had with many of you in that time, so genuinely, thank you.
  • We recently realized that continuing to improve would become very difficult with the previous design. So we redesigned it from the ground up. We put search right up top for importance, made everything in the app searchable (shortcuts, programs, even settings), and moved shortcut details to a new panel to keep the list lean and mean while giving the details room to grow. This new version ultimately serves as a bridge to an exciting future ahead.

New in Button Shortcuts 1.7.5 (Aug 7, 2019)

  • Added support for 4 programs: Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo, Affinity Publisher and Modo.

New in Button Shortcuts 1.7.4 (Jul 18, 2019)

  • The exciting update will be the next one unless we screw up again
