Zhenzhu
Look up Chinese anywhere on your Mac: pinyin, meaning, HSK level and flashcards
It turns every Chinese sentence you meet on your Mac, in a PDF or a screenshot, into a lookup and a flashcard without leaving what you were reading.
Zhenzhu is a menu-bar app for macOS 15 and later that explains selected Chinese text wherever it appears: pinyin, definitions, sentence translation, HSK context and a word-by-word breakdown. OCR handles images and PDFs, and both simplified and traditional characters are supported. Words can go to Anki or into a built-in flashcard deck scheduled with FSRS. The free tier gives unlimited lookups, 30 history entries, 30 local cards and 10 OCR snips a month; Pro 1 is $24.99 for the v1.x line and lifetime updates are $49.99, each covering three Macs. Built by a solo developer, Minh.
