Learn English as you type Chinese. Keysake is a free macOS input method that shows English alongside your Chinese. Save words, phrases, or full sentences from what you want to say. Japanese, Korean, and more languages are coming soon.
The concept is simple but really practical. I can see this being useful for people who use Chinese every day but want to improve their English naturally.
It’s incredibly helpful for someone like me who studies English regularly. The author had a great idea—it meets my needs perfectly.

Learn English as you type Chinese with Keysake, a free macOS input method. ⌨️ It brings
learning into a habit you already have, with your own conversations, work, and ideas as
the material.
Language learning often means making time for another routine: opening an app, finding
material, and shifting your attention. Even after studying vocabulary and textbook
examples, you may still wonder how to express what you mean in a real conversation. 💬
Keysake connects learning to daily expression in three ways:
1. ⌨️ Start with a habit you already have.
As you type Chinese, English appears alongside it. You keep writing your original
message, without a separate translation request or app switch. An everyday task becomes
an opportunity to notice useful English.
2. 💡 Learn from what you actually want to say.
A work update, dinner plans, or a half-formed idea: the content comes from your real
life. You're not just seeing English. You're connecting something you already mean with
another way to express it.
3. 💾 Keep the expressions that matter to you.
Right-click to save the current word, phrase, or sentence. Press Space twice on any
input candidate to save the associated full sentence, even before you've finished
typing it. Over time, you build a personal expression library shaped by things you've
actually wanted to say.
This release supports Chinese input with English display on macOS. Japanese, Korean,
and more languages are coming soon. 🌏 Next up are iOS and cross-device sync. Deeper
grammar and usage explanations, AI answers to your language questions, and practice
tools are on the roadmap. 🤖
Chinese-to-English is the starting point. The vision is language learning that grows
out of everyday expression.
We'd love to hear how Keysake fits into your everyday typing. ✨

Hello everyone 👋
I'm excited to introduce Keysake here.
Keysake is a macOS input method that shows the English while you type Chinese. Just type like you normally do — chat, work, notes — and the English shows up right in the candidate bar.
The idea is simple: the sentences you actually want to say every day make better study material than any textbook. See something worth keeping, save it — a word, a phrase, a whole sentence — and dig into the grammar and usage in the app later.
It's completely free.
Give it a try and tell us what feels off — we're reading everything. Would love your support and your upvote today 🙌

Congrats!
I can see this being handy if you're already learning a language and want to get more comfortable writing. The everyday typing approach makes sense.

@jack_pearson33 Our goal is that you can learn while typing in your everyday life, which saves quite a bit of time.
Keysake
@jack_pearson33 Yes! We’re planning to let you switch the output language anytime as you type, so you can choose which language goes into the text field. We’ll also make the typing experience smoother and keep adding and improving multilingual features.
I like the idea of turning everyday typing into a small English practice session. It feels much less like studying.
