Plae

Plae is a macOS menu bar application designed for fast, private, and on-device translation. It allows users to translate text instantly using a global keyboard shortcut without leaving their current application. The app stands out by performing all translations locally on the machine, ensuring no data ever leaves the computer. It offers three distinct translation engines: the native Apple Translation, context-aware Apple Intelligence, and an independent built-in AI model based on Google's TranslateGemma. Key features include a full-screen presentation mode for sharing translations, translation history, and complete offline functionality.
