Type Switch: A Convenient Language Switcher for macOS

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.

What is Type Switch?

Type Switch allows users to quickly and easily switch between all languages installed on their system. With a customizable button that can be adjusted for size, color, and opacity, the app is designed to offer a seamless and intuitive experience tailored for multilingual users.

Key Features:

  • Quick toggling between installed 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.
