Desktop App

A lightweight native app that brings Diglot to your desktop — summon it over any other app with a keyboard shortcut, check or translate whatever’s on your clipboard, and open and save files straight from your computer.

Is it available yet?

Not for download just yet. The desktop app is built, but we haven’t published installers for it — public release comes after beta launch. For now, use Diglot in your browser at app.diglot.ai.

What it will do

• Global shortcut — press Cmd+Shift+D (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+D (Windows/Linux) to bring Diglot up over whatever you’re working in, straight from the system tray.
• Clipboard helper — open it and Diglot offers to translate, check, or edit whatever you just copied.
• Native files — open and save DOCX, PDF, TXT, and Markdown through your normal file dialogs.
• Stays signed in securely — you log in through your browser, and your session is kept in your operating system’s secure store.
• Automatic updates — it keeps itself up to date in the background.
• Syncs with the web — it’s the same account and the same documents, so everything stays in sync. You can keep writing offline and changes sync when you reconnect.

Platforms

Planned for macOS 13+ (both Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows 10/11, and Linux (Ubuntu 22+).

What it won’t do (at first)

• AI features (translate, paraphrase, grammar, Cowriter) need an internet connection — there’s no on-device AI in the first version.
• Writing and reading work offline; the AI tools don’t.

Pricing

Desktop pricing isn’t decided yet. One thing that is settled: the desktop app uses the same per-plan quotas as the web app, so your AI usage isn’t billed separately no matter how desktop access ends up being priced.

Common questions

Is there a desktop app I can download? Not yet — it’s built but not publicly released. Public release is planned for after beta. Use the web app in the meantime.

Will it work offline? Editing and reading will. AI features (translate, paraphrase, grammar, Cowriter) need internet in the first version.

Will it be free? Pricing isn’t decided. Desktop AI draws from your normal plan quotas, with no separate per-use charge — but how desktop access itself is priced is still open.

Mac or Windows? Both — plus Linux. macOS 13+ (Intel and Apple Silicon) and Windows 10/11.

Why is it so small? It’s a native app that reuses your system’s built-in components instead of bundling a whole browser, so it’s a few megabytes and light on memory — good for something you keep running in the background.
