winget install --id=QQRM.RustSwitcher -e Rust Switcher is a native Windows 11 utility that converts selected text and recently typed words between Russian and English keyboard layouts. It provides configurable hotkeys, optional automatic conversion, a tray icon, settings, and autostart.
Rust Switcher is a Windows 11 utility that helps convert text between RU and EN keyboard layouts.
It was created as an open-source alternative to Punto Switcher and Caramba Switcher with a clear privacy requirement: keyboard input stays on your device. No telemetry, no usage analytics, and no data uploads. Text conversion works offline; the application does not send your text or other user data to the developer or third parties.
rust-toolchain.toml)cargo install rust-switcher
Download rust-switcher.exe from Releases.
The config file is stored at:
%APPDATA%\RustSwitcher\config.jsonDefault hotkey sequences:
To remove a binding, focus its hotkey field and press Backspace or Delete.
Your input stays on your device. Rust Switcher processes keyboard input and selected text locally and does not collect telemetry or usage analytics. It does not upload typed text, selections, input history, or preferences to the developer or third parties.
Recent input is held temporarily in memory to support conversion; preferences are saved locally. The privacy policy explains this local processing, retention, clipboard behavior, and development logging.
Pausing or disabling AutoConvert leaves keyboard tracking and manual hotkeys running. To stop all processing, right-click the tray icon and choose Exit; closing the settings window only hides it.
This project includes a ready-to-use bacon.toml for a fast development loop.
