Letters from the quay

Good morning. How are you today?

English Hebrew

בוקר טוב. מה שלומך היום?

⌘C› Original

The tide comes in twice a day, and the boat goes out when it returns. Nobody on the quay seems to mind the waiting.

Bring a coat if you are walking out to the point — the wind picks up after four, and the light goes quickly once it does.

Fair questions

Does my text leave my Mac?
Not for the 18 languages Apple translates on-device. Google is off until you turn it on, and its results say “via Google”.
Does Bloop keep what I translate?
Recent lookups stay in a history on your Mac (⌥⌘Y). Nothing is synced.
Which apps does it work in?
Anywhere text can be selected: Safari, Mail, Slack, Notes, PDFs, code editors.
Is it really one payment?
$19 once, updates included, 3 Macs, no account. 14-day refund.
What does it need?
macOS 26, and the Accessibility permission to read the text you selected.
