Awnsy is a menu-bar translator application for macOS that provides on-screen translation capabilities. The app allows users to select text or draw a bounding box around any content on their screen, including images, PDFs, games, and subtitles, to receive an instant translation. It is designed to work even in situations where text cannot be directly selected, such as within videos or applications that do not support text selection. The application includes several core features. It offers on-device text recognition that extracts words from images, videos, and other visual content. A built-in translation model runs entirely on the user’s Mac, operates offline, and requires no account, API key, or telemetry. Users also have the option to bring their own API key from OpenAI or Anthropic for higher quality translations, with the key stored securely in the system Keychain. The interface is accessed via a customizable hotkey (default is double-Command-C) and lives in the menu bar, avoiding clutter in the Dock. The app is built with pure Swift rather than Electron, contributing to a lightweight footprint. Typical use cases include translating text in documents, subtitles, images, or any on-screen content that is not easily copyable. The workflow involves activating the app with a hotkey, selecting the area or text to translate, and viewing the translation stream in a small window where language and model can be switched on the fly. Awnsy is free to download from the Mac App Store, with a Pro version that unlocks unlimited screen translations. The app requires macOS 15 or later and Apple Silicon hardware. It is an independent application and is not affiliated with OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google.
