About TransLite

TransLite is a lightweight macOS translation tool designed to eliminate the friction of switching between apps to use services like ChatGPT. By using a single keyboard shortcut (⌘⇧T), it instantly replaces selected text with a translation in any application, such as Slack, WhatsApp, browsers, or email clients. It is built for focus and privacy, allowing users to bring their own OpenAI API keys so that data remains secure and never touches the developer's servers. It streamlines the traditional multi-step copy-paste process into a single, seamless action.

How to Use

After installing, select any text on your Mac and press ⌘⇧T. The tool will instantly translate the clipboard or selected text and auto-paste the result right where you are typing. You can adjust the target language and tone (Formal, Casual, etc.) via the menu bar icon.
