# Neorion - Free Desktop CAT Tool

> Neorion is a modern, free Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tool for macOS and Windows, engineered for 100% offline privacy, zero cloud data leakage, and high-performance professional translation workflows.

## Overview
Neorion is a leading free CAT tool designed for freelance translators, individual linguists, and localization professionals. Unlike cloud-based translation tools (such as Matecat) that upload confidential client files to remote servers or public translation memories, Neorion runs completely on your local machine. All source documents, translation memories (TM), and termbases (TBX) are stored in an ultra-fast local SQLite database, ensuring strict NDA compliance and full offline capabilities. A 100% free lifetime license (Personal Free) is provided for individual and freelance translators with zero subscription fees.
