The concept is simple but really practical. I can see this being useful for people who use Chinese every day but want to improve their English naturally.

 We’ll gradually add support for more languages too. Feel free to let me know if there’s anything you’d like us to add.

 Thank you, other languages will be supported soon as well.

Congrats!

 Thank you! Stan Xu

 Thanks a lot, Stan

Great! Does it support other languages?

 Thanks! Yes, we’ll keep adding support for more languages and improving the typing experience. Feel free to let me know if there’s anything you need.

 Yes, other languages will be supported soon as well.

Does it work smoothly when switching between Chinese input and normal English typing?

 We’re continually improving the experience to make it feel easier and more natural to use.

 Thank you, , it doesn't change the regular input method switching.

Does it translate the whole thought naturally or mainly use it to surface useful English expressions?

 Keysake translates what you type in real time.

 This depends on the capabilities of the large model, but we will try our best to ensure it retains its original intent.

Is there a way to control how often the English suggestions appear?

 Not at this stage, but a shortcut could be added later.

 Thanks for the great feedback! We’ll give this request careful consideration and include it in a future update.

Does it show show a few natural English options or just one translation?

 For now, it shows one natural-sounding English translation. We’ll add the option to see other ways to say it in a future update.

 Thank you, Romain, could you give an example?

can users customize the type of English vocabulary they want to learn?

 You can’t customize vocabulary categories in the current version yet, but it’s something we could consider for a future update.

Congrats on launch! does Keysake adapt to each person’s current English level?

 It’s not supported in the current version, but we can consider it for a future update. Thanks for your feedback!

Curious if there are plans for a Windows version eventually but it looks incredibly slick for Mac users.

 Thanks you Priya! Yes, it’s on our roadmap.
