How to use

How to use

Get started in a few simple steps.

Browse the suggestions and toggle the actions you actually use. Keep the list tight — a cheat sheet is for what you forget, not everything.

Click “add custom” and type your own action name and shortcut, ideal for macros and niche tools.

The live preview shows your cheat sheet exactly as it will export. Reorder entries if you like.

Export the PNG or PDF, print it, and pin it where you’ll see it every day.

Tips & recommendations

Tips & recommendations

Pro tips to get the most out of this tool.

Keep it under 12 entries

The best cheat sheets are short. If you need more than a dozen, you are trying to memorise too much at once.

Group by app or action

Organise entries by the app they belong to — your brain recalls shortcuts by context, not by list position.

Refresh it every month

As you master entries, remove them and add new ones. A living cheat sheet keeps improving your speed.

Share it with your team

A shared shortcut map is the fastest onboarding tool for new teammates and freelancers.
