Numbers when Num Lock is on
Use the keypad for quick, comfortable number entry.
Make every keypad key feel right on Mac.
NumLockLED is a Mac app that brings your keyboard's Num Lock key back to life. Press Num Lock to switch between numbers and familiar navigation. The light on your keyboard follows along, so you always know which mode you're in.
Don't have a number pad on your keyboard? Press Shift+F5 to turn a small letter-key area into a number pad for quick number input.
You can also easily swap Control and Command, and make Home and End jump to the beginning and end of a line for a seamless cross-platform experience.

The simple fix
Your number pad, working the way it should.
With NumLockLED, your keyboard no longer feels broken. It's so satisfying to see everything works properly.
Navigation when Num Lock is off
Use the same keys for Home, arrows, Page Up, End, Insert, and Delete.
Your setup stays intact
NumLockLED only helps with the number pad and leaves the rest of your keyboard setup alone.
What about Scroll Lock?
We fix it too.
Press the Scroll Lock button to toggle its LED. Though it may be ceremonial, your favorite keyboard must feel perfect on a Mac.

Why does macOS ask for keyboard permission?
macOS may ask for two permissions. Input Monitoring is needed to fix Num Lock on supported number pads. Accessibility is needed for Embedded Numpad, and for Home/End to jump to the start or end of a line.
Will it change my other keyboard settings?
No. NumLockLED only helps with the number pad on the keyboards it supports and leaves the rest of your setup alone.
What happens when I quit?
Your keyboard returns to the way it was before NumLockLED was running.
What data do you collect?
We only keep the email you use to buy and activate NumLockLED, and only for licensing. We do not collect keystrokes. The app stays offline except when you purchase, activate, or renew a license.
