Hello Product Hunt community! 🎉 As a long-time Apple enthusiast who works with English, French, and Polish, I’ve always found macOS's default language-switching tools to be less than ideal for managing multiple languages. The process feels clunky, and I wanted something more intuitive and efficient. That’s why I decided to create Type Switch — a simple, powerful language-switching tool designed to make multilingual typing effortless. Type Switch Key Features: Quick toggling between installed languages. Customizable button displays the current language with adjustable size, color, and transparency. Hotkey support for instant switching. Voice announcement of the language when switching. Who Will Benefit? Whether you're a writer, developer, or student, Type Switch is designed to simplify your multilingual tasks and enhance productivity. Its intuitive design and features ensure you stay focused on what truly matters. Available Now! Type Switch is now live on the App Store, and I would love to hear your feedback. I hope this tool becomes an essential part of your macOS experience, enhancing your productivity and workflow. Check it out and let me know what you think! Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to improve and expand the app's capabilities. Thank you for your support, and happy language switching! 🚀

Congrats on the launch, @meltedmen. I like the voice feedback feature to avoid accidentally switching to the wrong language, especially when typing fast. Wish there was a free trial. It's difficult to commit before going on a date 😊️

Type Switch would save me so much time switching languages. How do you manage multilingual tasks on your Mac?

@william_jin Here’s how I use Type Switch: I customize the button’s size, color, and transparency to suit my needs. Whether I’m coding or replying on a forum, I always see the language I’m typing in, displayed on the button that stays on top of all windows on my desktop. Plus, when I switch languages, the app announces it, so I’m always aware of the active language. It helps me stay in control of my multilingual typing.

@ihuzaifashoukat Thank you for your interest! I developed Type Switch entirely on my own, and it took me about two months to complete. One of the biggest challenges was ensuring that the button displaying the current language always stays on top of all windows. As I mentioned in my first comment, I work with multiple languages, and I’ve never liked the default language-switching tools. It’s frustrating when you start typing, thinking you’re using, for example, French, only to realize you’re typing gibberish in the wrong language. Then you have to delete and retype everything. Type Switch was created to solve this problem and make multilingual workflows easier and more efficient.
