Keysake is a Mac input method that brings relevant English expressions to your everyday typing, so you learn naturally from the messages and notes you write. Japanese, Korean, and more languages are coming soon.
THE IDEA BEHIND KEYSAKE
Meaningful language practice comes from your own life: a quick message, an email draft, or a sudden thought.
Instead of memorizing random word lists, Keysake connects new expressions to what you actually want to say, giving each one a context that matters to you.
Your words. Your context. A little learning every day.
WHERE WE WANT TO GO
The language you already know can help you learn the language you want to speak.
We’re starting with Chinese input for English learners. We plan to support English input and expand to more languages, including Japanese and Korean.
Keysake currently runs on Mac and has a Chinese-language interface. Type in Chinese to see corresponding English expressions, and collect words, phrases and sentences as you type. Revisit your collection for automatic explanations of sentence structure and grammar.
Yes. Hover over a word or phrase, then right-click and choose Save. Double-tapping the space bar saves a full sentence. We plan to make saving individual words and phrases more seamless in future updates.
Yes. Japanese, Korean, and more languages are coming soon, and we plan to support English input too. Today’s app has a Chinese-language interface and supports Chinese input with English expressions; English input and English → Chinese learning aren’t available yet.
Keysake uses Apple’s on-device translation technology to generate English translations locally on your Mac, without sending your input to the cloud for translation.
