Easy Write: translate text anywhere on macOS, in place, formal or informal, 100% on-device (free & open source)
Reposting again as the previous post got removed by filter by error.
Hello Everyone,
I had to communicate daily in two to three languages and I found using google translate and deepl etc. too annoying as it takes a lot of time on a daily basis.
So I created Easy Write.
with this app you can select text in any app, hit a shortcut, and it's replaced with the translation right there. No popup, no copy-paste.
The part I actually built this for: ⌥⌘T gives you the formal version (German Sie, French vous), ⌥⌘I the informal (du, tu). Regular translators can't do that, and in a lot of languages it's the difference between polite and rude.
Runs entirely on Apple's on-device LLM (macOS 26 / Apple Intelligence).
Requirement: Apple Silicon + macOS 26 with Apple Intelligence on.
Looking forward for your feedback.
