David from Spain here :)
I built TransLite because I was tired of breaking my flow every time I needed to translate something before sending it.
The usual workflow was: copy → open a browser tab → paste → translate → copy again → paste back.
I've created a small macOS menubar app that lets you translate the current clipboard instantly using a keyboard shortcut, in any app.
It works locally and supports using your own OpenAI / Claude API key.
It’s intentionally simple — no accounts, no tracking, no subscriptions.
Happy to answer any questions.
Best regards, David
