What it does
- Translate in placeReplaces the selected text directly, in any app. Read-only text goes to a small popup with a Copy button.
- Automatic directionDetects which language of the pair you wrote in and translates to the other. Nothing to switch.
- Up to three language pairsEach pair on its own global shortcut, for example Russian and English on ⌥⌘F.
- Your writing style, per pairDescribe how you write, and that pair's translations sound like you. Leave it empty for a plain translation of someone else's text.
- Bring your own engineClaude or ChatGPT through your existing subscription (official CLI) or your own API key, or Grok through its CLI.
- Private by designNo server, analytics or telemetry. Text goes only to the engine you picked; API keys stay in your keychain.
