Drop in an EPUB or PDF, pick a language, get a finished EPUB back. Libyx runs on your own machine with your own API key — no account, no upload, no subscription. What's different: a glossary pass reads the whole book first, so names, invented terms and the author's voice stay consistent to the last chapter. A cheap model scores every chapter, and only the weak ones go to an expensive one for polish. Batch mode halves the cost. 57 languages, Mac and Windows.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
I built Libyx because a book I wanted to read didn't exist in my language, and it probably never will. Machine translation of a whole book has been possible for a while now — it just wasn't packaged for readers.
So: you drop in an EPUB or a PDF, pick a language, pick a model, and get a proper EPUB back. It runs entirely on your own machine with your own API key. No account, no upload, no subscription — you pay your AI provider directly, and Libyx shows you the estimated cost before anything starts.
What took the longest wasn't the translating. It was everything around it:
- A glossary pass reads the whole book first, so character names, invented terms and the author's voice stay consistent from chapter one to the end.
- A cheap model scores every chapter, and only the weak ones get sent to an expensive model for polish. Same quality, roughly a third less cost.
- Batch mode uses the providers' batch APIs for a 50% discount. The app doesn't need to stay open.
- 57 target languages, including regional splits that actually matter — Simplified vs Traditional Chinese, Bokmål vs Nynorsk, pt-BR vs pt-PT, Serbian in both scripts.
Mac and Windows, free to use. I'd love to hear which books you throw at it — and where it breaks.
