Mac
MeaningCue helps you understand text anywhere on your Mac screen in the language you choose.
There is no need to copy and paste or switch between multiple apps. Open Screen Scan from the menu bar, select the area you want to understand, and let MeaningCue bring the translation, summary, key terms, and contextual explanation together in one place.
OFFLINE AND FREE TO EXPLORE
MeaningCue uses a local language model that runs directly on your Mac. Analyze and understand text on your screen even without an internet connection.
There is no external AI account to create and no recurring AI subscription to pay for. You do not have to worry about request quotas or usage limits. The content you select is not sent to external AI servers; the analysis takes place on your Mac.
AUTOMATICALLY SAVED, READY WHEN YOU NEED IT
Everything you explore with MeaningCue is automatically saved to History. There is no need to scan the same content again. Revisit the original text, translation, summary, key terms, and explanations whenever you need them.
MeaningCue is especially useful for articles, work documents, and learning materials where a simple translation may not be enough. Select exactly what you need, stay focused on the context, and understand long or unfamiliar content without losing your place.
