Awnsy is a small menu bar translator for macOS. Select text in any app, press ⌘C twice, and the translation appears right over the window. For text you can't select, like images, scanned PDFs or video, drag a box around it and Awnsy reads and translates it. The translation model lives inside the app and runs on your Mac. No account, no API key, works offline, and what you translate stays on your machine. If you prefer cloud quality, add your own OpenAI or Anthropic key.

DeepL Translator
Thanks Gal. Good catch on the drag-a-box mode - right now the popup only shows up once the text has been read, so the ocr pass looks like pause. A visible "reading the screen" state before translation starts is a small change and its already on my list forupdate.
Out of curiosity, which Mac you were on? OCR step is noticeably quicker on M2 and later, and I'd like to know how the M1 experience feels for people other than me.
And thx for the DeepL comparsion, the alt-tab habbit was exactly what I built this to get rid of.
