Polly
Typed it on the wrong layout? Fixed.
Polly lives in your menu bar. When a word comes out on the wrong keyboard layout — ghbdtn instead of привет — it corrects the word and switches the layout for you.
- Fixes words automatically after Space or Enter, or on a hotkey you choose
- Works with the layouts you already use: Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Korean and the main Latin-script languages
- Backspace right after a correction undoes it
- Local only: nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere
Polly needs Accessibility and Input Monitoring access to see the keys you type. That access never leaves your Mac.
