Settle the term once and keep the note beside the draft.
Open the folder with your draft and write down the glossary decisions as project notes. Notes are found by meaning, you read and edit them yourself, and the language is whichever model you choose.

Where the hours go now
No rebuilding the glossary context in every chat.
Early
The job lands
Every new chat forgets that the client wants this word, not that one, and you rebuild the glossary one correction at a time.
Before noon
You hand it over
Terminology lives in readable project memory, scoped to the job. You pick the model for the language pair, review each edit, and put back what is wrong.
Mid-afternoon
A trusted harness around the model
Bandicot gives every agent a project, tools, a session that survives restarts, approvals, and a clear place to stop.
Last thing
You read what changed
Keep terminology decisions beside the translation draft.
What you bring
No rebuilding the glossary context in every chat.
A Mac
Bandicot is a Mac app. The work happens in your folders, on your machine.
A folder
Keep files, context, plans and decisions with the project instead of losing them in a disposable chat.
translation-context/A model
A local model, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a hosted provider you sign in to. The provider bills you directly.
Free
For one person on your Mac. Every plan has every capability.
Same question, different tool
A chat box answers. Bandicot does the work in your folders, asks before it writes, and keeps a version of every change.

Checked, and labelled
Each line says whether it ships now or is still being built, so you never buy a promise.
- Available now
Any model, one project
Switch between hosted providers and local models without rebuilding the project around one lab.
- Available now
A version for every change
Every file an agent changes is recorded, with diffs, restore, undo of a whole run, and a slider that puts a folder back to any moment.
- Available now
Approval before writes
An agent asks before it writes, runs or spends outside the rules you set; the rules live in one permissions file.
- Available now
An added model’s fingerprint is checked before every load.
Bandicot records the file's fingerprint on the first download and checks it before every load, so a file swapped on disk is never run.
- Available now
Before downloading a model, Bandicot checks memory needs and disk space.
Before a download, Bandicot reads the model's own file header to work out how much memory it will need and checks there is room on the disk.
- Available now
Browse can add a single-file GGUF model from Hugging Face.
Bandicot checks it fits first and never runs it if the file changes.

Start without paying
The free plan has every capability for one profile, and asks for no card.
Put a run back
Every changed file is a version, so a run you regret is one click from undone.

Questions before you start
Does it handle every language equally well?
Language capability depends on the model you choose. Review the output yourself; no translation accuracy or certification is promised.
Where do my prompts go?
A local model runs on your Mac. A hosted provider receives the prompts you send it and bills you directly. Choose the route the work permits.
Can I take back an agent's edits?
Yes. In projects you enrol in Versions, file changes are recorded. Restore a file or undo a whole run, with or without Git.
