Why Jarq exists

Stay where your cursor is

Jarq started as a fix for one habit: a translator tab open all day. Every trip to ChatGPT or Google Translate is a context switch — and each switch drops your train of thought.

Your flow stays intact

A side effect we didn't plan: translations appear next to the original, in real context — and that's exactly how words stick. Phrases you translate today stop needing a translator at all.
