Multi-device keyboard remap studio
A cross-platform web remapper for niche keyboards like NIZ, with all-layer visual comparison
- Problem
- A user built an open-source web remapper for the NIZ ATOM66 because the official config tool is Windows-only, forcing Mac users to spin up a VM just to tweak a few keys; and when editing multiple layers there is no way to see them side by side, so users toggle back and forth from memory.
- Solution
- A browser-based remapping workbench for multiple niche keyboards: connect via WebHID or a local bridge, read and write mappings live; show normal layer, left Fn, right Fn side by side with cross-layer copy; export configs as JSON for backup and sync across machines.
- Users
- Programmers using NIZ, Keychron, Anne Pro, or other keyboards lacking a good Mac config tool, especially those syncing layouts across multiple computers.
- MVP
- Support 1-2 popular niche keyboards; read and write key mappings; show all layers side by side with cross-layer copy; local save and JSON import/export; no account, fully static deploy.
- Revenue
- Free with paid cloud sync for multiple keyboard profiles and team-shared layouts; or a one-time purchase desktop bridge.
- Why now
- WebHID is now stable in mainstream browsers, and the niche keyboard community is active but long underserved on Mac, so an indie tool can win through open-source reputation.
