Engineered from the ground up as a native .NET 8 Windows productivity assistant. Translucent combines stealth DWM screen overlay technology, sub-second vision OCR, system audio loopback, and multi-model AI routing into a unified floating cockpit.
Translucent hooks directly into the Windows Desktop Window Manager (DWM) compositor using SetWindowDisplayAffinity with the WDA_EXCLUDEFROMCAPTURE flag. Your floating assistant remains fully visible and interactive on your physical monitor while being entirely omitted from shared screens, recordings, and meeting livestreams.
Press Ctrl + Shift + S to crop any area of your desktop. Translucent extracts text, parses visual layouts, and streams multimodal analysis from Google Gemini 3.8 Flash or GPT-4o in under 500ms. Perfect for live code review, debugging stack traces, and reviewing architecture diagrams.
Powered by NAudio WASAPI loopback capture, Translucent captures system audio streams directly. Meetings are transcribed locally using both on-device Whisper.net (GGML tiny model) and Windows System.Speech. You can also route system audio directly into web applications for automated sound detection.
Toggle Ghost Mode with Ctrl + Shift + H. Translucent applies the Windows extended window style WS_EX_TRANSPARENT, enabling all mouse clicks and keystrokes to pass straight through to your code editor, browser, or terminal underneath without window switching.
Embedded Chromium WebView2 runtime with full multi-tab support, quick bookmarks (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Google, Perplexity), pre-defined prompt auto-clearing, configurable startup mode (AI Chat vs Browser Mode, default ChatGPT URL), and default 950 x 740 geometry.
Press Ctrl + Shift + M to minimize the entire assistant into an ultra-compact, draggable 54x54 glowing bubble. Stays pinned on top without obstructing your workspace, expanding instantly with a single click or hotkey.
Clean solid floating security gate with zero background opacity and integrated draggable controls. Supports instant Email OTP verification via Resend and Google OAuth, with 1-click token copying for VMware and virtual machines.
Use your preferred LLM provider. Leverage Google Gemini 3.8/2.5 Flash for high-capacity reasoning, Groq LPUs for blindingly fast 500+ tokens/second streaming, DeepSeek Reasoner for algorithmic proofs, or local Ollama for 100% offline private execution.
Your personal API credentials never pass through Rohit Industries servers. Keys are stored locally on your physical machine and protected using the Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI) with machine-bound master cryptographic keys.
Never break your focus. Summon the floating chat (Ctrl + Shift + Space), snip the screen (Ctrl + Shift + S), toggle Ghost Mode (Ctrl + Shift + H), minimize to bubble (Ctrl + Shift + M), or trigger quick prompt decks without Alt-Tabbing.
