Translate Like Me is a native macOS menu bar app that combines local speech-to-text dictation with style-preserving rewriting and translation, inserting results directly at the cursor in any app. It stands out for running Whisper/Qwen3-ASR and MLX-based Gemma models entirely on-device, while optionally delegating cloud translation to existing CLI accounts, keeping user text under their control.

Target audience: macOS power users, writers, and multilingual professionals
