About MoePeek
A lightweight, native macOS menu bar translator. Select text, get translation. MoePeek is a personal, AI vibe-coded side project. It works well for my own use cases, but it's not designed to be a polished, production-grade tool — there are plenty of edge cases in text selection and window handling that commercial tools have spent years ironing out, and MoePeek likely misses many of them.
