Hello Product Hunt community! 🎉
As a long-time Apple enthusiast who works with English, French, and Polish, I’ve always found macOS's default language-switching tools to be less than ideal for managing multiple languages. The process feels clunky, and I wanted something more intuitive and efficient. That’s why I decided to create Type Switch — a simple, powerful language-switching tool designed to make multilingual typing effortless.
Type Switch Key Features:
Quick toggling between installed languages.
Customizable button displays the current language with adjustable size, color, and transparency.
Hotkey support for instant switching.
Voice announcement of the language when switching.
Who Will Benefit?
Whether you're a writer, developer, or student, Type Switch is designed to simplify your multilingual tasks and enhance productivity. Its intuitive design and features ensure you stay focused on what truly matters.
Available Now!
Type Switch is now live on the App Store, and I would love to hear your feedback. I hope this tool becomes an essential part of your macOS experience, enhancing your productivity and workflow.

Congrats on the launch, @meltedmen.
I like the voice feedback feature to avoid accidentally switching to the wrong language, especially when typing fast.
Wish there was a free trial. It's difficult to commit before going on a date 😊️

@ashitvora Thank you for your interest! I’ll consider offering a free trial a bit later and will get back to you. 😊
Type Switch would save me so much time switching languages. How do you manage multilingual tasks on your Mac?

@william_jin Here’s how I use Type Switch: I customize the button’s size, color, and transparency to suit my needs. Whether I’m coding or replying on a forum, I always see the language I’m typing in, displayed on the button that stays on top of all windows on my desktop. Plus, when I switch languages, the app announces it, so I’m always aware of the active language. It helps me stay in control of my multilingual typing.

@alex_tartach This isn’t an enhanced PuntoSwitcher—it’s a completely new way to manage languages on macOS. Type Switch’s standout feature is audio announcements for each language change, ensuring you always know which language is active. Combined with a floating button that stays on top of all windows, it provides seamless, intuitive, and error-free multilingual typing.
@meltedmen is there way to replace written text with different language if you already typed smth in?
Congratulations @meltedmen on the launch of Type Switch! This tool sounds amazing for multilingual users
Maker
@jai_singhal Thank you so much for your interest! I'm confident that this app will truly help simplify multilingual tasks and, most importantly, save users valuable time.
Congrats on launching Type Switch! How has it been developing this app and what inspired you to create it?

@ihuzaifashoukat Thank you for your interest! I developed Type Switch entirely on my own, and it took me about two months to complete. One of the biggest challenges was ensuring that the button displaying the current language always stays on top of all windows.
As I mentioned in my first comment, I work with multiple languages, and I’ve never liked the default language-switching tools. It’s frustrating when you start typing, thinking you’re using, for example, French, only to realize you’re typing gibberish in the wrong language. Then you have to delete and retype everything. Type Switch was created to solve this problem and make multilingual workflows easier and more efficient.
