Trancy Air is a shortcut-driven translator that sits ready on macOS and Windows. In any app: select what you can't read and it's translated; write in your own language and one key swaps it to another; too lazy to type, just talk. It also catches mistakes, polishes wording, reads text aloud and scores your pronunciation.
Word-synced desktop lyrics for Apple Music, Spotify, QQ Music, NetEase, Kugou, and for YouTube Music or Spotify Web in a browser.

Shows up as a floating overlay, a Dynamic Island capsule, an Apple-Music-style window, or in the menu bar. Free and open source, no account.

Every entry you write today locks at the time that you configured — 8pm by default. Once it locks, that's it: no editing, no rewriting history, no quietly polishing what you actually felt in the moment. Just an honest, raw, and unfiltered record of your day. Entries sync across your devices with your own private iCloud and never with a first/third-party server. When typing is not enough, record a squope (square video) or an audio note. at8pm is free to download (up to 2 entries per day).
