Plae

What it does

Plae is a macOS menu bar app for on-device translation. Private, fast, always one shortcut away. $4.99 one-time purchase on the Mac App Store.

A menu bar app that translates on-device. Hit a shortcut from any app, get results privately. Nothing leaves the machine. That's it. No accounts, no cloud, no ongoing internet. Just works. Hit Cmd+Shift+T from any app. Plae pops up from the menu bar. Type a message, hit Enter. Translation happens right on the Mac. Tap the present button and the translation goes full-screen. Big enough for anyone to read. Pick the engine that fits. Each one runs entirely on-device. The one that just works. Uses the same translation built into macOS. Fast, accurate, and already there. For when the basics aren't enough. Apple Intelligence understands context better and handles more languages. No Apple…from getplae.app

  Hello ! David from Spain here :) I built TransLite because I was tired of breaking my flow every time I needed to translate something before sending it. The usual workflow was: copy → open a browser tab → paste → translate → copy again → paste back. I've created a small macOS menubar app that lets you translate the current clipboard instantly using a keyboard shortcut, in any app. It works locally and supports using your own OpenAI / Claude API key. It’s intentionally simple — no accounts, no tracking, no subscriptions. Happy to answer any questions. Best regards, David

  I spent 3 years reverse-engineering a 40 yo stock market sim from 1986▲721

  Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
