PRIVATE BY DESIGN, CLEAR BY DEFAULT
Your text is not a product.
Lemvia reads content only when you trigger a feature. Local history stays on your Mac. Cloud translation is explicit and the route is always visible.
LOCAL HISTORY▱
Stored on your Mac
Searchable translation history can remain entirely local, with your own retention limit.
VISIBLE ROUTES⌘
You know where text goes
The interface names the active cloud or personal API route before translation.
MINIMAL ACCESS⌂
Permission only when needed
Accessibility, input monitoring, and screen capture are requested for the features that use them.
NETWORK ACTIVITY
Only downloads, checkout, license verification, and the translation route you choose.
