Type Switch: A Convenient Language Switcher for macOS, Almost Ready

As a long-time Apple enthusiast who works with English, Ukrainian, 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.

What is Type Switch?

Type Switch allows users to quickly and easily switch between 30+ languages with a customizable button that you can adjust to your preferences, including size, color, and opacity. It’s designed to provide a smoother, more intuitive experience for multilingual users.

Key Features:

  • Seamless switching between 30+ languages.
  • Customizable button (size, color, opacity).
  • Optional sound and speech feedback for each language.
  • Clean, minimal design with a floating switch panel.
  • Launch at startup for easy access.
  • Keyboard hotkey [⌃ Ctrl] for quick switching.

What's Next?

The app is almost ready for launch — it’s in the final testing stages, and I’m planning to submit it to the App Store in about 2-3 weeks. Before I do, I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, and any advice you might have. If you’re interested in trying out Type Switch or have any suggestions for improvement, feel free to share your ideas!
I’m excited to hear from the community and can’t wait to share this tool with the world.
