Rekey vs Caramba Switcher
Both auto-correct the wrong keyboard layout on Mac. The real differences are price and language coverage: Rekey is free and handles 34 languages, while Caramba focuses on English and Russian with an annual subscription.
Short version: Caramba Switcher and Rekey both detect and fix the wrong layout automatically and both run on macOS. Caramba centres on English and Russian and is sold by subscription (~$6.99/year); Rekey is free, runs 100% on-device, and supports 34 languages.
If your daily mix is English and Russian, Caramba is a capable, well-maintained tool. But if you also live in Ukrainian, German, Polish, Greek or other languages, a two-language focus starts to feel narrow.
Rekey was built for broad multilingual typing from the start — 34 languages across Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Georgian, Armenian and Thai — and it is free, with no subscription and nothing sent to the cloud.
