LingoMacBar: Mac Menu Bar Translator: Translate instantly from your Mac menu bar with one shortcut

I built LingoMacBar because translating a sentence usually means breaking your workflow: opening a browser, finding the right tab, copying text, pasting it, and then switching back again. I wanted something much simpler—a translator that stays quietly in the Mac menu bar and is always available when needed. LingoMacBar started as a small Swift and SwiftUI experiment and evolved into a focused translation tool with Google Translate and DeepL support, customizable shortcuts, light and dark modes, and a clean interface without ads or tracking. It’s useful for developers reading documentation, students researching in other languages, writers, remote workers, travelers, and anyone who works across languages. I’d love your feedback: • Which translation engine do you use most—Google Translate or DeepL?• What keyboard shortcut would feel most natural to you?• Would you like additional features such as text selection translation or clipboard history?
