A menu-bar LLM translator for macOS. Bring your own key — or run it fully locally.
macOS only — Windows / Linux not yet supported · v0.1.2 · all releases
TLiquid never proxies translations through our servers because there are no servers. You bring an OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or OpenRouter key (or none at all, and run locally with Ollama) and the app talks directly to the provider. Keys live in the macOS Keychain — never in plain files, never in logs.
Select text in any app, hit ⌘⇧T, and a translucent panel slides down from the tray with the translation streaming in. Press Enter to copy and dismiss; press Esc to forget it ever happened. Spotlight-style summon, no Dock icon, no window-cluttering Cmd-Tab entries.
OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, OpenRouter — all four cloud providers stream tokens directly to the panel. Local Ollama is a first-class option for fully-offline translation; pick any chat-tuned model you’ve already pulled. Switching providers is one click in Settings.
Every prompt, every routing rule, every keystroke that captures your selection lives in a public repo you can read end-to-end before installing. Build your own bundle if you’d rather not trust the published one. No analytics, no telemetry, no auto-updates that run behind your back.
