Hey everyone! 👋 I’m Hasan, a Product Designer and Indie Maker passionate about building tools that boost productivity and simplify daily workflows.
Today, I’m excited to introduce you to TranslateAir — an AI-powered translation and OCR app crafted specifically for macOS users who want fast, seamless translations without switching between apps. 🚀
My goal with TranslateAir was simple: make translating easier by eliminating app-switching friction and help you work across languages effortlessly.
With TranslateAir, you can:
Instantly translate selected text with a floating bar
Capture text from images, PDFs, and videos with advanced OCR
Pick from top AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, DeepL, and Google Translate
Fine-tune translations using the new Rewrite feature (make it more friendly, formal, concise, or detailed)
Customize your workflow with personalized keyboard shortcuts
It’s lightweight, fast, and designed to stay out of your way while helping you stay productive.
Would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or questions! Feel free to reach out. 🙌
Congratulations on the launch. Why is it that most translation tools never convey emotion. My two cents; It would be great to understand the emotion of a sentence after it is translated.
You’re absolutely right, but that’s exactly why TranslateAir exists.
Instead of classic rigid translations, we use advanced AI models to make the translations feel more natural and nuanced.
And with floating bar access, it’s always right there when you need it. 🚀

TranslateAir's macOS integration is beautifully executed - that floating translation bar with OCR feels like magic ✨. The attention to detail in the smart rewrite and custom shortcuts shows real understanding of productivity workflows. This is how translation tools should work.
@kyrylosilin Thanks Kyrylo! Not yet. right now it uses built-in model options, but BYOK support is definitely something I’m considering for future updates. 🚀
This looks incredibly useful, Hasan — especially for macOS power users juggling multilingual content! The floating bar and OCR from images/videos sound like huge time-savers, and I love that you included multiple AI model options plus tone adjustment via Rewrite. That’s thoughtful UX.
Curious:
Are you planning iOS support or cross-app syncing in the future? Would love to use something like this on mobile too.

@williamrobertscott Thanks so much William! Really appreciate the kind words. 🙏
At the moment, I’m fully focused on building the best possible experience on macOS, but if there’s strong interest, expanding to iOS is definitely something I’d love to explore!
Really like this design — clean, sharp, and having it right on the top menu bar is such a smart move. Feels like one of those tools that just quietly makes your workflow better. Looking forward to using it!
