Live translation for everything you hear.
Real-time speech translation that runs entirely on your Mac. Meetings, videos, lectures, or the voice across the table — translated the moment it's spoken, with nothing sent to the cloud.

Two-way
Understand them — and be understood.
Cliptic doesn't just translate what you hear. Speak in your own language and it delivers your words to the meeting in theirs — through a virtual microphone — so the conversation flows both ways.
Why Cliptic
Built different, on purpose.
Most translation tools ship your voice to a data center and meter you by the minute. Cliptic does neither.
Nothing leaves your Mac
Every word is transcribed and translated locally. No servers, no accounts, no transcripts sitting in someone else's cloud. Private by architecture, not by policy.
Not just meetings
Zoom and Meet, of course — but also YouTube, online courses, podcasts, films and voice notes. If your Mac can play it, Cliptic can translate it.
No limits, ever
No monthly minutes. No daily quota. Translate for eight hours straight if your day runs that long — the meter simply doesn't exist.
Works in the room too
Ambient mode listens through your mic, so in-person meetings and offline conversations translate just as well as a video call. Online or across the table.
A free mode you'll use
The free tier isn't crippled. Sessions start at 40 minutes, and a quick reset gives you a fresh 40 — no sign-up, no paywall mid-sentence.
On-device speed
Powered by optimized models on Apple Silicon. Fast enough to keep up with natural speech, and fully functional offline once installed.
How it works
Running in under a minute.
Open the app, pick two languages, choose where to listen. That's the whole setup.
Pick your two languages
Choose what you speak and what you want to hear. Cliptic defaults to your Mac's language and English — change either in a tap.
Choose where to listen
Capture system audio for calls and videos, or switch on ambient mode to translate the room through your mic. One toggle.
Read and hear it, live
Translations appear as live subtitles and can be spoken aloud in real time, so you follow along without missing a beat.
Language models download once on first run, then everything works offline.
Languages
Twenty-two languages, translated locally.
Speech in, subtitles and spoken translation out — all processed on your Mac.
The interface itself speaks 22 languages, including full right-to-left support for Arabic.
Pricing
Simple pricing. No minutes to count.
Start free with no time limit worth worrying about. Upgrade when you want it running without a single reset.
