About Linglens
Linglens explains a word or phrase you select on any web page — in the language
you read best, grounded in the page you're reading, using your own LLM API key.
You know the word; what you don't know is what a term means HERE — "runner" in a
CI doc, "sink" in a streaming doc, "hydration" in a frontend doc. Highlight it,
click the icon, and Linglens explains it in context.
WHY LINGLENS
• Your language — explanations come back in the language you configure
(English, 中文, 日本語, and more), not just English.
• Your key, your control — bring your own key: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini,
DeepSeek, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, including a local model that never
leaves your machine. Real provider-reported token counts are shown per
explanation.
• A conversation — ask a follow-up right in the popup and keep the thread.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No accounts, no servers, no tracking. Your key and data stay on your device;
requests go straight from your browser to the provider you choose. A selection
alone sends nothing — only clicking the icon calls the LLM, so an accidental
highlight never costs a token.
Open source. Bring your own key.
