Awnsy
Press ⌘C twice to translate. Runs on your Mac, offline
Most translators send your text to a server. Awnsy downloads a translation model inside the app and runs it on your Mac: no account, no key, works offline, nothing leaves the machine. It lives in the menu bar and works in any app: select text, press ⌘C twice, and the translation streams into a popup right there.
Unlike the built-in macOS translation, it also handles text you can't select. Drag a box around an image, a scanned PDF or a video and it translates it. Or bring your own OpenAI key.
Features
- Double ⌘C or a hotkey translates the selection in any app; the result streams in as it is generated
- Screen area translation for images, scanned PDFs and video, with on-device OCR
- On-device translation through MLX: no account, no key, offline, private
- 78 target languages; language and model switchable right in the popup
- Bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic key, or point it at any OpenAI-compatible server
- Reads translations aloud; interface localized into 14 languages
Use Cases
- Reading documentation or PDFs in a language that isn't your native one, without switching to a browser
- Translating text you can't select: images, scanned PDFs, app menus or video
- Translating private or work text that shouldn't leave your Mac
- Translating offline, on a plane or without a network

I'm Alexey, 15 years in software, first Mac app. I built it because translating meant copy, browser, paste, back, many times a day. Select text in any app, press ⌘C twice, and the translation streams into a popup over it. Can't select it (image, PDF scan)? Drag a box around it. The model runs on your Mac: no account, no key, offline, about a second a sentence on an M1 Air. Or use your own OpenAI key. Text is free, screen area is Pro after 10 tries. Which language do you translate most?
