FluentMe is a small, focused tool for people who read across languages every day.
Reading foreign text on screen usually means copy, switch to a browser, paste, skim, switch back, lose your place. FluentMe removes every step between seeing unfamiliar text and understanding it. One shortcut, translation in place, back to what you were doing.
FluentMe is native — AppKit on macOS, with ScreenCaptureKit for capture, Vision for OCR, and Apple's Translation framework for the actual translation. There's no Electron wrapper, no cloud API, no telemetry. The whole app is a single menu bar binary.
Your screens never leave your machine. Translation happens on-device using the language packs you've installed via the Translate app. We don't collect analytics, we don't ask for sign-up, and we don't phone home.
Windows and Linux builds, a dedicated shortcut-recorder field, signed and notarised .app bundles, launch-at-login. Longer term: selection-based capture, history, and per-app language profiles.
