A menu bar app for macOS. Select text in any app, press a shortcut, and it is replaced with the translation. The direction between your two languages is detected automatically, and each pair can have its own writing style. Runs on Claude, ChatGPT or Grok, through the subscription you already have or your own API key. Free and open source.
