Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Leonard, a finance master’s student at Esade. I learned Excel on Windows, where every command is a keyboard sequence: Alt H O I to fit a column, Alt H V V to paste values. Then I switched to a Mac and my fingers kept hitting Alt (Option), and nothing happened.
Excel for Mac does have KeyTips (tap Option and the ribbon tabs get letters), but they stop halfway: once a menu opens, its items have no letters, so you’re back to the mouse.
RibbonBridge fixes that. It’s a small Mac menu bar app that adds the missing letters to every Excel ribbon menu, using the same letters as Windows. Tap ⌥, type H O I, and the column fits, exactly as you learned it.
What it does:
⌨️ Puts a letter on every menu item, with the Windows letter wherever there is one
🔁 Supports classic sequences too, like Alt E S for Paste Special
🇩🇪 Supports both English (Alt H …) and German (Alt R …) Windows shortcuts
↩️ Runs through Excel’s own menus, so ⌘Z works as usual
🔒 Only reacts right after an Option tap in Excel, and nothing you type is recorded or sent anywhere
It’s built for people who live in Excel: finance, consulting, accounting, and anyone who moved from Windows to a Mac.
Pricing: 7 days free with just an email, no credit card. After that it’s €15 once for early access (€25 at launch). No subscription.
I’d love your feedback, especially:
Which shortcuts you use most, so I know what to test hardest
Whether you’d want Word and PowerPoint next
Thanks for checking it out! I’ll be here all day answering questions 🙌
