Our idea of your software
Deviating from the trends
Reclaim your software and your privacy. Call us old fashioned, but we believe software should focus on its task, not its creator.Your data is yours
The current trend is to monitor everything a user does, through so called telemetry. Every click, where and how long you hover your mouse, what you type. It's being sold as a way to optimise software, but honestly it's just a violation of your privacy.
Don't trust us - verify it yourself. Discover how local AI translation works to keep your data private.
Your focus is yours
Another trend is everything in the browser. While the browser is a powerful tool, it can also be an attention grabber.
Your translations are yours
With our local AI translation engine, you can work completely offline. No accounts, no subscriptions, no tracking, no recurring costs - just reliable translations when you need them, forever. Learn more about offline translation software benefits
The responsibility is ours
It's up to us to make sure MAITO works, fast and without interruptions, without siphoning your data.
Features
MAITO is like a Swiss army knife, packed with features while staying compact.
It's compatible with a wide range of formats, including docx, pdf, and more.
Choose what works best for you: our built-in local AI translation engine for instant offline translations with complete privacy, or connect to DeepL when you need professional-grade accuracy. Both work seamlessly, no subscriptions required.
MAITO's modern interface is designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind, ensuring a smooth experience for users at every step. Whether you're a fan of dark mode or light mode, MAITO has you covered.
MAITO can translate .docx and .pdf files for you while maintaining the layout. The more content, the better the translation gets, as DeepL uses contextual translating to determine just the right words to use.
In the spirit of MAITO's no distractions mantra, MAITO will retrieve only the relevant text from a website to make sure you stay focused on the task at hand.
Of course, MAITO can quickly translate that sentence for you, or help you out when you're not exactly sure about the spelling of your translation.
We've optimized local-running AI models trained for translating in 32 languages to work fast, even on lower end devices. MAITO handles all the technical stuff for you.
Translate anything from anywhere with MAITO's hotkey functionality. Just select the text you want to translate and press CTRL-C + C. You can even configure the minimum time between the 2 C's, so you can safely smash the buttons without triggering MAITO.
Not sure what language a text is written in? No problem, MAITO will find out for you.
Looking to translate something for a personal letter, instead of a formal one? MAITO can help you with that too, letting you select the tone your translation should hit.
Our local AI translation is completely free to use after your one-time purchase - no usage limits, no monthly fees, ever.

Frequently Asked Questions
Certain questions get asked a lot, and might help you as well.
Don't hesitate to reach out if you have more questions!
Why should I go with MAITO?
MAITO was created out of something we were looking for ourselves. So it's rooted in fixing an actual problem, instead of just creating something to sell. We're one of the first translation software to offer AI-powered translations completely locally - no cloud, no subscriptions, just your device. That's a pretty big deal in today's cloud-first, subscription-heavy world. We think MAITO is a great tool to have, and we hope you'll agree. Besides, as a (very) small company, you have our personal devoted support - we're passionate about our product.
Do I need an active internet connection to use MAITO?
No! MAITO's local AI engine works completely offline - no internet connection required for translation. You can work anywhere, anytime with complete privacy. For users who occasionally need professional-grade translations, MAITO can optionally connect to DeepL's API, which does require internet. You choose which engine to use based on your needs: offline privacy or online precision.
How good is the local AI translation compared to DeepL?
Our local AI translation engine uses models specifically trained for translating in 32 languages, optimized to run efficiently on your hardware. It delivers excellent quality for everyday translations with the huge advantages of complete privacy, offline availability, and zero recurring costs. For professional or complex translations where maximum accuracy is critical, you can switch to DeepL. The beauty is you're not locked into one solution - use what works best for each task.
How can I verify that MAITO doesn't send my data?
We've created a detailed guide showing you exactly how to verify for yourself that MAITO makes no internet connections during local translation and sends no telemetry whatsoever. Using built-in Windows tools, you can monitor network activity and see proof of complete privacy. We believe in transparency - don't just trust us, verify it yourself.
What are the hardware requirements for local translation?
MAITO's local AI works on a wide range of hardware. Minimum requirements: Windows 10/11 (64-bit), Intel i5 or equivalent, 8GB RAM, and 6GB disk space. The system automatically selects the best AI model for your hardware during setup. For optimal performance, we recommend 32GB RAM and a modern GPU, but MAITO is designed to work efficiently even on modest hardware - we've optimized it specifically for everyday computers.
What's that about DeepL?
We believe in giving you options. MAITO's primary strength is local AI translation - completely offline, private, and included with no recurring costs. For users who occasionally need professional-grade accuracy for critical documents, MAITO seamlessly integrates with DeepL's industry-leading API as an optional feature. You have full control over which engine to use: local AI for everyday privacy, or DeepL when maximum accuracy matters.
Why choose MAITO over cloud-based translation services?
Cloud services like Google Translate require uploading your content to their servers, raising privacy concerns - especially for sensitive documents. MAITO's local AI processes everything on your device with zero data transmission. You also avoid subscription fees, usage limits, and dependency on internet connectivity. Your translations are truly yours: private, unlimited, and available anytime, anywhere. For the occasional need for cloud accuracy, DeepL integration is available as an option.
