CyrFlip is a lightweight, portable Windows tray utility from publisher SerZhyAle, currently at version 26.7.28.1842 with six versions released, falling into the keyboard and input utility category. Its core purpose is to prevent layout-typing errors: it displays the active keyboard layout directly beside the blinking text caret, on the mouse I-beam, and on the tray icon, assigning its own colour to each of 13 curated languages and showing a frame when CapsLock is engaged. Beyond indication, a global hotkey transliterates a selection between QWERTY and JCUKEN in place, a second hotkey corrects an accidental CapsLock, and a configurable table of layout pairs supports unlimited "from layout to layout" conversions, each bound to its own chord and functioning bidirectionally. A settings window replaces the Windows language pane, allowing users to install, reorder, and remove keyboard layouts, choose the switch chord, and assign per-language shortcuts that Windows itself handles. An optional Quick launch module converts programs, scripts, and yt-dlp downloads into scenarios launchable from the tray, dedicated global hotkeys, or the taskbar Jump List. An optional built-in translator sends selections to Ollama, a free program installed separately on the user's own computer, and displays results in a small window near the pointer; it remains disabled until enabled and communicates only with localhost by default, so no text leaves the machine. Additional extras include an optional DPAPI-encrypted clipboard history with search, two keep-awake switches, and an interface available in 13 languages. The software ships as a single portable executable with no installer and no runtime dependencies, suiting multilingual typists, translators, and anyone who frequently switches between keyboard layouts and needs both visual feedback and rapid in-place text conversion.
