Translate anything on your screen.
A menu-bar translator for macOS. Select text — or draw a box around a photo, a PDF, a game, a subtitle — and get an instant translation. Even where you can’t select it.
Small app. Serious reach.
Everything a translator should do on a Mac — and a few things only Awnsy does.
One keystroke. Any language.
Double-⌘C or your own hotkey — that’s the whole interface. The translation streams in live, and you can switch language or model right in the window.
Reads the screen itself
On-device text recognition pulls words out of images, videos and apps that won’t let you select.
Private by default
The built-in model runs entirely on your Mac. Offline. No account, no key, no telemetry.
Your models, your choice
Bring your own OpenAI or Anthropic key for top quality. It stays in your Keychain.
Native and featherlight
Pure Swift, not Electron. Lives in the menu bar, never clutters your Dock.
Meet Awnsy.
Free on the Mac App Store. Awnsy Pro unlocks unlimited screen translation.
