Ease of use: 3.0

This sounds great and would love to use it but my Mac running Mojave will not open it as it cannot scan it for virus. Please fix - I could really use this.

Neat little app and works exactly as advertised. Would love to see this in the app store. Lots of customisation. Dock icon, Menu Bar icon and the on-screen icon. Works perfectly with my Logitech K780 keyboard.. shame Logitech didn't think to include a simple indicator on the caps lock.

OS didn't let me open the app because it couldn't scan it for malicious software.

When Captin works, it's great. I have a logitech keyboard that does not indicate when the caps are on. When you're a fast typist, it helps to know whether you've hit the CAPS key or not. That's the purpose of Captin; it shows up in the menu bar at the top of the screen and lights up when it's working. The problem is: I can hit the CAPS LOCK key on my logitech keyboard, and often Captin will freeze and prevent me from typing anything until I hit the CAPS LOCK key on and off multiple times until, I guess, the app "resets." Then it works like a charm. But it happens way, way, way too often. Other than this bug, it's great, and I really need it when working with a keyboard like logitech (which, except for the glaring error of not having a CAPS LOCK indicator, is great).
