Mac Excel Shortcuts
Makes your Windows Excel keyboard shortcuts work natively in Excel for Mac.
Mac Excel Shortcuts is a native macOS app — not a VM or remote desktop — that remaps the Windows Excel shortcuts you already know (Paste Special, AutoSum, Fill Down, Alt-ribbon sequences) onto Excel for Mac, so switching computers doesn't mean relearning your muscle memory. It needs two permissions to work: Accessibility to reach Excel and Input Monitoring to read your keystrokes. The claimed 25+ hours a month saved is explicitly footnoted as an estimate for typical power-user workflows over a 22-day month, not a guarantee. It's free to trial for 7 days, no account needed.
What holds up
- +Native macOS app — not a VM, Parallels, or Boot Camp, so no reboot or Windows license needed
- +7-day free trial with no account required, so you can test it on your own real files
- +Time-savings claim is footnoted as an estimate for typical workflows, not a flat promise
Mind the limits
- −Requires Accessibility and Input Monitoring permissions — deep access to your keyboard and Excel
- −Only remaps shortcuts — it doesn't add any feature Excel for Mac doesn't already have
