How it works

Join the call. It’s already translated.
No bot, no setup.

Lyron listens in

It picks up your Mac’s audio in real time: Zoom, Meet, YouTube, a podcast, anything that’s playing.

You read it in your language

The caption appears over the app, already translated. Invisible in screen share, so only you see it.

Privacy

Your voice never leaves your machine.

On Free, the audio never even touches the internet. We don’t see what you say — we couldn’t if we tried.

Audio never leaves your Mac

On Free, capture and translation happen 100% on your Mac. No network, no logs.

Nothing is stored

On Pro, only the transcribed text (never the audio) goes through our edge proxy. And we don’t keep content.

No tracking in the app

The app has zero telemetry. We don’t see what you translate. Period.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Anyone who ends up on a call in a language they don’t fully speak: a global team, a foreign client, an online class. And anyone consuming untranslated media, like JRPG gamers, manga readers, or people watching a talk or video in another language.

A notetaker (like Otter) hands you the summary once the meeting is over, too late to reply in the moment. Lyron captions while the person is speaking, so you follow and take part in real time. And it still keeps the history so you can summarize later if you want.

On macOS we use the setContentProtection API, which removes the window from Zoom, Meet and Teams captures. The other side of the call sees nothing of the overlay, not even in the recording.

Never on Free: everything runs on your Mac. On Pro, you optionally send the transcribed text (never the audio) to Lyron Cloud through our proxy. We don’t keep content.

Lyron understands 99+ spoken languages and translates to 24, auto-detecting the source. It works over any app: Zoom, Meet, YouTube, Netflix, games (Steam, emulators), manga and PDF readers. For text on screen, just snip with ⌥⌘T.

It’s Lyron’s second mode, for text that’s on the screen rather than in the audio. Hit ⌥⌘T, drag a rectangle over anything (game dialogue, a manga bubble, a PDF paragraph, an app menu) and the translation appears in a card beside it, no copy-paste. You can lock the region and repeat it in the same spot with a shortcut.

Everything Lyron translates, from audio and from Vision, is saved locally in a History, organized by session and searchable. On Pro, you ask for a session summary in one click, or ask questions about the conversation (like "what did we decide?"). It even works with audio in your own language: record a lecture and summarize it later.

Free runs 100% local (Whisper + built-in translator) with 20 Vision captures a month. Pro adds Lyron Cloud (premium translation, no setup), unlimited Vision, unlimited History with AI recap, and early access to new features.

Yes. Cancel in the app (Settings → Account) or in the Stripe portal. Pro stays active until the end of the period you already paid for, with a 7-day guarantee if you change your mind.

No. Lyron runs only on Apple Silicon (M1 or newer). Whisper and the local translator rely on the Apple chip’s acceleration.
