Translator

2026

I select a sentence and translate or improve it. My clipboard can take a day off.

I built Translator to translate or improve selected text without sending it on a tour of my clipboard. I highlight a sentence, invoke the action, and read the streamed result near the selection.

Stay with the sentence

The project has macOS and Linux clients, plus a Chrome companion for webpage and PDF context. A Rust backend handles providers and streaming. The desktop integrations handle selection, focus, and the popup.

I can configure a model provider with my own API key. The app sends requests to that provider. Account-login integrations are separate work; I don’t present them as verified subscription access.

This is an app under development. Its source is private, and the cover uses the actual app icon.
