What ships inside Diglot Desktop
Two cooperating processes built for bilingual academic writing and fast cross-app fixes.
Full workspace
Dedicated desktop window
Write drafts, manage your Library, run translations, grammar checks, and scholarly searches without losing your tab inside a browser.
System-wide helper · macOS
Press Cmd+Shift+D anywhere
DiglotOverlay runs quietly from your macOS menu bar. Select text in Mail, Slack, Word, or Overleaf to translate or refine it without switching windows.
Account sync
Browser OAuth + Keychain handoff
Sign in with email & password inside the app or finish Google / Magic Link login in your default browser and hand the session straight back to Desktop and Overlay.
macOS installation steps
Three quick steps from DMG download to pressing Cmd+Shift+D in any app.
01
Download and open Diglot-macOS-arm64.dmg
Verify the optional .sha256 checksum if you want to confirm file integrity.
02
Drag Diglot Desktop into Applications
DiglotOverlay.app stays bundled inside Diglot Desktop.app and launches cleanly when you open the desktop app.
03
Approve first launch & Accessibility permission
Until Apple Developer ID notarization is attached, open Diglot Desktop.app once, click Done, then choose System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway (or run xattr -cr on the bundle), and grant Accessibility for Cmd+Shift+D.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a paid plan to use the desktop app?
No. Diglot Desktop uses the same account and allowances as app.diglot.ai — you can start on Free with no credit card and switch between web and desktop at any time.
What is included inside the macOS download?
Diglot-macOS-arm64.dmg bundles both Diglot Desktop.app (the full writing workspace) and DiglotOverlay.app (the native Swift menu-bar helper for Cmd+Shift+D text selection actions).
Why does macOS show an unidentified developer warning right now?
Direct beta DMG builds are distributed outside the Mac App Store while Apple Developer ID notarization is being finalized. Drag Diglot Desktop.app to Applications, approve it under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway (or clear the quarantine attribute recursively in Terminal) and verify the published SHA-256 digest.
How does sign-in work inside the desktop app?
Email + password sign-in runs directly inside the app. Google OAuth and Magic Link open securely in your system browser so CAPTCHA and provider passkeys work cleanly, then return you to the desktop app over diglot://.
Is a Windows installer available?
Our release workflow compiles an x64 NSIS Windows installer alongside the macOS DMG. Until the public Windows binary is published to downloads.diglot.ai, Windows users can access the complete workspace at app.diglot.ai.
Need an account first?
Create a free Diglot account in your browser, then sign in inside Diglot Desktop and the menu-bar overlay with one click.
