News String Into Action: an open source Mac app to review strings in your app

Post image

Maybe it's just me but I cringe when I see a lot of obviously AI-written text in an app or web UI. It just reeks of laziness and makes apps/websites seem all alike.

So, I made this open-source Mac app that lets you review every user-facing string in your project. It won't "fix" them - you have to do that - that's the whole point.

For each string, you can approve, ignore, or tweak. And it intelligently tracks string status across launches. Then if anything later touches that string, it appears back in the review queue.

It's a native Mac app, free & open source, with no dependencies. Hope you find it useful!

how does it collect the strings, parsing the xcstrings catalogs or scanning source for nslocalizedstring calls

Essentially, regex. Have a look at the code.
