Awnsy is a menu-bar translator for macOS that translates selected text or text captured from any area of the screen. It includes an offline on-device model and optional support for user-provided OpenAI or Anthropic API keys.
Awnsyとは？
Awnsy is a menu-bar translator for macOS. It translates selected text with a keyboard shortcut or menu-bar command, and it can capture text from a defined area of the screen when the source cannot be selected directly. This supports content such as images, PDFs, videos, games, and subtitles.
The app displays results in a small floating window and can stream the translation as it is produced. A built-in model runs on the Mac and works offline without an account or API key. Users can also supply their own OpenAI or Anthropic key for cloud-model translation. Awnsy requires Apple silicon and macOS 15 or later.
Awnsyでできること
Translate Screen Area
Draw a box around text that cannot be selected, including text in images, PDFs, videos, games, and subtitles. Awnsy uses Apple’s on-device text recognition to extract the words before translating them.
Local offline model
The built-in translation model runs entirely on the Mac. The site says it works offline and requires no account, API key, or telemetry.
Bring-your-own cloud keys
For optional cloud-model translation, users can add their own OpenAI or Anthropic key in Settings → Models. The key is stored locally in the macOS Keychain and is not sent to Awnsy.
Live translation controls
Translation streams in the result window, where users can switch the language or model without leaving the translation workflow.
利用シーン
“Reading foreign-language documents”
Select passages in a document or PDF and translate them without moving text into a separate translation website. If the PDF contains content that cannot be selected, use a screen-area capture instead.
“Understanding images and subtitles”
Capture a region containing text in an image, video, or subtitle overlay. This is useful when the source is visible on screen but offers no copyable text layer.
“Translating game interfaces”
Use Translate Screen Area on menus, dialogue, or other in-game text that is not exposed as selectable text by the game.
“Offline or privacy-sensitive translation”
Use the built-in on-device model when an account, API key, or network connection is undesirable. The product describes this mode as offline and local to the Mac.
よくある質問
What does Awnsy require?
Awnsy requires a Mac with Apple silicon, such as M1 or newer, running macOS 15 or later. Intel Macs are not supported.
How do I translate text I cannot select?
Open Translate Screen Area from the menu bar or use its hotkey, then draw a box around the text. Awnsy reads the area with Apple’s on-device text recognition and translates the result.
Does Awnsy require an account or API key?
No. The built-in on-device model works without an account or API key and can run offline. OpenAI or Anthropic keys are optional for cloud-model translation.
Are all languages supported by screen-area translation?
Screen-area translation depends on the languages supported by Apple’s on-device text recognition, including Latin, Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Thai, and others. For languages that recognition does not yet support, the site recommends regular text translation, which works with every language.
What does Awnsy Pro include?
Text translation is free and unlimited. Translate Screen Area includes 10 free translations; Awnsy Pro unlocks it fully and adds a custom translation prompt for cloud models. Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase, with current prices shown in Settings → Awnsy Pro.
