locli

All your app's texts. Every language. locli is the one place for the texts of your iOS, Android and web app and its store listings. Your coding agent adds and translates them, locli checks every one (placeholders, plurals, glossary, tone), and nothing ships until you approve a release.

This repository holds what runs on your machine:

Get started

In your app's repository:

npx @locli/cli init

Or ask your coding agent: "Set up locli for this app's texts." (docs: https://locli.dev/docs/agents.md).

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add mariohahn/locli
/plugin install locli@locli

Cursor, Codex and other MCP clients

{ "mcpServers": { "locli": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@locli/cli", "mcp"] } } }

Sign in once with npx @locli/cli login (it opens the browser to approve the CLI). CI uses a project token in LOCLI_TOKEN.

Data

The CLI and MCP server talk to one service: the locli server in locli.json (apiURL, default https://locli.dev, hosted in Frankfurt). They send the app's texts, their keys, comments and plural forms, and short usage notes such as "used as a toolbar item"; they do not send source code or file contents. Texts stay in the locli project until it is deleted. The sign-in token is stored in ~/.config/locli/credentials.json (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME), readable only by you. Privacy policy: https://locli.dev/app/privacy/

Issues

Bugs and ideas: open an issue. The locli server and web app are not part of this repository.
