One language per app.
Pick an input source for Xcode, another for Messages, another for your notes. It follows you from window to window.
Input sources for your Mac menu bar
Every app types in English
InputFence remembers which keyboard language you use in each app, and switches to it the moment you do. No shortcut. No wrong-language typos.
Requires macOS 13 or later · Lives in your menu bar · Pay once
Set it once. Forget it.
Six small decisions InputFence makes so you never think about your keyboard language again.
Learns as you type.
Change the input source by hand and InputFence updates the rule for that app. No settings screen required.
Lock what matters.
Lock an app's rule and manual changes are ignored. Your terminal stays in English, whatever you do.
A default for the rest.
Choose the input source every other app gets, or leave them unchanged. Your call.
Pause when you need to.
Stop switching for 30 minutes, 1 hour or 4 hours. It resumes on its own.
Light as a menu bar.
No Dock icon, no window. Launch at login and it quietly does its job.
Switch apps. Not keyboards.
Choose an app, choose a language, and InputFence does the rest.
Step 1
Add an app.
Click + in the menu bar panel and pick from your running apps, or choose any app on your Mac.
Step 2
Choose a language.
Set the input source it should use. Only the keyboards you've enabled in System Settings are listed.
Step 3
Just type.
Click into the app and your keyboard is already right. Switch away and it follows.
Pay once. Use forever.

Questions? Answers.
Which input sources does it support?
Every keyboard layout and input mode you've enabled in System Settings. InputFence only offers what macOS already lists.
Does it work with full-screen apps?
InputFence reacts whenever a different app becomes the frontmost one, whatever its window mode.
What if I switch the language by hand?
By default InputFence remembers it for that app. Lock the app's rule if you'd rather it never changes, or turn off "Remember manual changes".
How do the licenses work?
You pay once. A 1-Mac license covers one Mac, 3-Mac covers three and 5-Mac covers five. Pick the smallest one that fits.
Will it appear in my Dock?
No. InputFence lives in the menu bar only, and can launch at login.
