Is there a Punto Switcher alternative for Mac?

How is Lapsus different from Punto Switcher?
Both fix text typed in the wrong layout. Lapsus also corrects typos in the same pass, covers 33 dictionaries in six writing systems, can use an optional local neural model, and sends nothing you type anywhere.
Is there a LangOver alternative for Hebrew?
Lapsus converts Hebrew typed on the English layout, and back, with one key, and puts reversed Hebrew and Arabic text back in the right order. It runs on Windows and macOS.
Is Lapsus free?
