In short

CYRKEY is a Mac utility that lets people type Russian and Ukrainian directly on a German, English, or French physical keyboard using phonetic layouts. It suits users who want Cyrillic input without learning a new layout, and it includes a keyboard lock with a four-digit PIN. All typing is processed locally on the Mac, with no account or cloud processing.

About

CYRKEY lets you type in Russian and Ukrainian directly on the physical keyboard you already use.

Choose a German, English, or French physical keyboard layout and activate the matching phonetic input layer. Cyrillic letters are placed on familiar keys, so you do not have to learn a completely new keyboard layout.

SIX PHONETIC LAYOUTS RU-DE and UA-DE for German keyboards RU-EN and UA-EN for English QWERTY keyboards RU-FR and UA-FR for French AZERTY keyboards

QUICK SWITCHING CYRKEY runs quietly in the background. Press Control + Space to switch between your selected macOS system layout and CYRKEY phonetic input.

Special characters and additional Cyrillic letters are available through straightforward combinations with Shift and Caps Lock. The built-in layout viewer shows the complete key mapping whenever you need it.

KEYBOARD LOCK The built-in Keyboard Lock protects against accidental keystrokes. Ordinary keys are blocked while Caps Lock, macOS system keys, the mouse, and the trackpad remain available. A four-digit PIN protects the lock.

PRIVATE AND LOCAL All typing is processed only on your Mac No account registration No cloud processing No subscription
