What Makes Fluor Special

Automatic Switching

Fluor figures out which app you’re using and instantly switches your function keys to match. No more hunting through menus — it just works, every time.

Per-App Control

Customize your function keys for every app. Want F-keys in your code editor but media keys in Spotify? No problem. Fluor remembers your preferences for each program.

No Bloat, No Pop-ups

Fluor lives quietly in your menu bar, never interrupting your workflow. No pop-ups, no nagging — just a simple icon showing you what’s active.

Super Simple Interface

No manual required for this small Mac function key utility. The rules editor is clear, options are straightforward, and everything works right out of the box.

Open Source & Free

Fluor is MIT-licensed and completely free. Because the code is open source, anyone can pick up where the project left off — or build something new. No ads, no tracking, just a small app built to make your Mac better.

Set It and Forget It

Set it up once and you’re done. After that, Fluor just works in the background, day after day, so you can forget about it — and focus on your work.

Fluor was open, free, and just worked. More apps should be like this.
