A calmer bilingual workflow
Two languages shouldn’t depend on one guess.
Automatic detection can hesitate on short phrases, accents, and names. With Katib, you choose the right language before you speak — with one key.
Your keyboard, repurposed
Do you know what these keys are for?
Most people barely touch the keys to the right of the space bar. Katib turns them into direct lines to the languages you use every day.
⌘English
⌥العربية
One key. One language. No guessing.
Switch without opening settings
One shortcut starts your primary language. The other starts your second. Both can stay ready in memory.
Predictable by design
You already know which language you are about to speak. Katib follows your key instead of trying to guess.
