What it is

Unshaky is a macOS application written in Swift and Objective-C that filters out duplicate keystrokes caused by the butterfly keyboard's mechanical defect, where a single key press registers multiple times within a configurable millisecond window. It intercepts keyboard events at the system level and suppresses rapid repeated presses on the same key, effectively salvaging affected MacBook and MacBook Air keyboards without hardware replacement. Single-app structure: source code organized in Swift and Objective-C files (37K and 25K lines respectively) with a CocoaPods dependency tree (Pods/Nimble for BDD testing via Nimble matcher framework). Includes embedded Carthage checkouts for…

Start here

• Podfile: Defines CocoaPods dependencies (Nimble testing framework); required to resolve build environment and understand test infrastructure.
• Podfile.lock: Locks exact versions of Nimble and transitive dependencies; critical for reproducing builds and understanding…
• Pods/Nimble/Sources/Nimble/DSL.swift: Core Nimble BDD test DSL; informs how to write or read unit tests in this…
• Images/status.afdesign: Menubar icon design; indicates the app is a system menu-bar utility, not a standalone window…
• LICENSE: Required to understand legal constraints on modification and distribution (content not shown; verify before contributing).

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Clone the repository, then verify the Podfile exists and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/aahung/Unshaky.git
cd Unshaky
pod install

Then open the generated workspace in Xcode. Do not run setup commands blindly; verify the current Podfile manifest first, as the repo's CocoaPods setup may have unresolved macOS compatibility issues.

Daily commands:

No explicit run command is visible in provided data. Standard macOS workflow: after pod install, open the Xcode workspace, select the Unshaky target, and build (⌘B) or run (⌘R). Verify the app's code-signing and Acces…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Stale — last commit 3y ago
• Concentrated ownership — top contributor handles 75% of recent commits
• No tests detected in the complete Git tree
• macOS 10.15.6 and later: Unshaky no longer functions as documented (see README issue #166); the cause is not explained in provided data, likely an OS API deprecation or sandboxing change. Keyboard event interception at…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
