StringHarbor

StringHarbor is the missing tool in every iOS and macOS developer's workflow — a native Mac app that gives you complete visibility into your app's localization status, without the complexity or cost of enterprise translation platforms.

See exactly where you stand. StringHarbor parses your .xcstrings files directly and shows you a live dashboard of every language: what's translated, what's missing, and what needs review. No syncing, no accounts, no cloud. Your files stay on your Mac.

BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS WHO SHIP
StringHarbor is designed for indie developers and small teams who are serious about localization. If you've ever copy-pasted strings into a spreadsheet, emailed XLIFF files to a translator, or lost track of what changed between releases — this is the app you've been waiting for.

WHAT YOU GET
- Dashboard — animated completion rings and progress bars for every language at a glance
- Strings table — filter by missing, needs review, or approved; search by key or value; inline editing
- Missing key detection — instantly see which strings exist in English but not in your target languages
- XLIFF export — export only the strings your translator needs, not the whole file
- XLIFF import — bring translated files back in, with conflict detection when the source has changed
- Version diff — snapshot your strings at release, then see exactly what changed next sprint
- Inspector panel — edit translations, change status, and read developer comments side by side

WORKS WITH YOUR EXISTING WORKFLOW
Open any .xcstrings file directly — no migration, no new format to learn. StringHarbor reads and writes the same file Xcode uses. Edit in StringHarbor, build in Xcode. It just works.

AI TRANSLATION (BONUS FEATURE)
Connect your own Anthropic, OpenAI, or DeepL API key and translate missing strings directly inside StringHarbor. Results are marked as Machine Translated for your review — never auto-approved. You bring the key, StringHarbor brings zero markup.

NO SUBSCRIPTION. NO ACCOUNT. NO CLOUD.
One-time purchase. Works completely offline. Your source files never leave your Mac.
