## About Koharu

Koharu keeps source text, translations, artwork, and layout together in a local project. Run a complete translation pipeline or revise an individual stage, then use the [canvas tools](https://koharu.rs/guides/canvas.md) to finish the page.

Pages, text properties, and editable artwork in the Koharu desktop editor.

Projects stay on your machine. Hosted translation or generation providers receive the content needed for the requests you send.
