I just downloaded your software and would like to say thank you so much! At work I use Excel on a PC and have always missed the functionality on my personal Mac. You are a life-changer.

Stopwatch icon representing speed

Get good at Excel, really fast

We use Apple's assistive features to control Mac Excel and simulate Window's alt-key shortcuts, without inconvenient or expensive workarounds. It's a better way to use Excel.

Keyboard icon representing shortcuts

Powerful shortcuts at your fingertips

We support 900+ alt-key shortcuts across Excel and PowerPoint. Every ribbon tab is fully covered, including Home, Insert, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, Review, and View. See the full list.

Excel icon in menu bar

Unobtrusive convenience

Accelerator Keys runs quietly in your menu-bar. When Excel is open, the app watches for keystrokes, and uses the Accessibility API to display hotkeys and control Excel.

Why we built this

Mac users of Excel have struggled with the lack of alt-key shortcuts for the past 10 years with only painful workarounds available (see Reddit and Microsoft's forum).

macOS's increased support for accessibility features recently enabled a new way to control Mac Excel. Mac users can now use alt-key shortcuts without spending a lot or inconvenient setups. Give it a try! Toon Boom Harmony Plugins

Issues with current workarounds

  • Bootcamp: Inconvenient to switch between Windows and Mac partitions, when most of our apps are on the Mac partition. Read-only access to Mac files from Windows partition without paid third-party software. Requires an additional Office license (US$150 per year).
  • Running a VM (e.g. Parallels): Laggy and consumes a lot of CPU. Some keyboard shortcuts still don't work properly. And this isn't cheap — Parallels costs US$80/year, and you need additional Windows and Office licenses.
  • Buying a separate PC: Technically this works…but surely we can do better than buying a new computer?
