What's new since 1.0

  • Translate inside input fields, like DeepL. A small button appears in the corner of the field you are typing in. Click it and the text is replaced with its translation. ⌥⇧E does the same from the keyboard. Works in Slack, Mail, Telegram, Safari and Chromium browsers.
  • Natural English. With Apple Intelligence on (macOS 26+), translations into English are rewritten in a casual or business tone.
  • Select text anywhere. Hold ⌥⌘: the screen freezes, and you select text with the mouse in Slack, videos, pictures or PDFs. Release to copy, add ⇧ to translate.
  • Translator. Double ⌘C translates what you copied, including text on a copied image. ⌥⇧T translates text in an area of the screen.
  • Text from images in the screenshot editor, and from an image in the clipboard.
  • All translation and text recognition runs on the Mac with Apple's frameworks. Nothing is uploaded.

1.5.1 fixes

  • LidShot no longer quits after the first translation in an input field.
  • The translate button now shows up in Chrome and other Chromium browsers, and stays out of address bars.
