Translate anything on your Mac screen

Draw a box around any text — a PDF, a game, a video, an app that won't let you select — and get it translated. Several engines answer at once, side by side, so you can see where they disagree.

Works the moment you install it

macOS ships its own offline translation engine, and the app uses it out of the box. No account, no API key, no setup — draw a box and read.

Several engines, side by side

Machine translation is uneven. Seeing three answers at once tells you far more than trusting one — especially where they disagree.

Bring your own keys

Add OpenAI, or anything speaking its API — OpenRouter, a local Ollama, your own proxy. You pay the provider directly; we never handle the money and never see the traffic.

Nothing leaves your Mac

No account. No servers of ours. No analytics, no crash reporting. Your history and saved words sit in one folder on your own disk.

Two ways in

Capture a region of the screen, or just type. Both take a keyboard shortcut you choose.

Keep what's worth keeping

Star a translation and it goes to your wordbook, with pronunciation and an optional explanation written by whichever model you configured.
