yTranslate vs why?

Understand anyone. Be understood by everyone. Someone talking in a language you don't speak? Point your phone at them and read along in yours. Talking to a room where not everyone shares your language? Share a code, and each person follows in the language they picked. Live, both ways, nothing to type. UNDERSTAND ANYONE, ON YOUR OWN PHONE The other person doesn't need the app or an account. Set the language they're speaking and your own, and their words appear on your phone in your language as they speak — a lecture, a service, a meeting, someone across the table. The same switch works when you're the one talking, so you see your own words translated too. ONE VOICE, EVERY LANGUAGE Built for the moments where one person needs to be understood by many. Create a room, share the code, and every listener picks their own language from over 130 supported — German, Russian, Chinese, Igbo, and many more, all at the same time. They can read the live translation as text or have it read aloud automatically. Listeners only listen: there's nothing to type and nothing to set up. A church service where the congregation doesn't all share the pastor's language — everyone follows along on their own phone, in their own language. A teacher addressing international students. A parent updating multilingual family. A guide leading a group where not everyone speaks the same language. Speak once, and the whole room understands. TWO-WAY CONVERSATIONS, FACE TO FACE Talking one-on-one with someone who speaks a different language? Turn on Conversational Mode, hand them one side of your phone, and yTranslate detects who's speaking and translates both directions live on the same screen — no tapping to switch, no waiting your turn. KEEP A COPY OF WHAT WAS SAID Save Notes keeps a record of a session on your phone, written as it happens, so nothing is lost if the app closes. Read them offline, share a session as a PDF, or copy the text. Notes stay on your device and are never uploaded to our servers. MADE TO BE SIMPLE - Free to join a room — anyone can listen with just a room code - PIN-protect any room to keep it private - Pick up where you left off — recent rooms resume in one tap - Stays connected through network hiccups — sessions end when you decide 130+ LANGUAGES Every listener chooses from over 130 supported languages, on every plan, always. More than 30 are ready to speak right out of the box, plus many more depending on your device's own speech recognition. SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT PRICING Joining a room to listen is always free. Credits are used when your phone is doing the translating. Choose a monthly plan or top up credits as you go. yTranslate turns "we don't speak the same language" into "we just understood each other."

why? We don’t think your phone is the enemy. And we don’t think every minute on your screen is a minute wasted. Sometimes you open Instagram because you need to reply to someone. Sometimes you open YouTube because you want to watch something. Sometimes you just want to do nothing. That’s okay. The problem isn’t using your phone. The problem is using it without choosing to. We unlock. We tap. We scroll. And somewhere along the way, we stop knowing why we started. So we built why? Not to block you. Not to shame you. Not to tell you how many hours of your life you’ve wasted. Just one small question, at the moment it matters: Why? Why are you opening this? What are you looking for? What do you actually want to do? Sometimes, asking the question is enough. Sometimes, you’ll realize you do want to continue. Good. Continue. Sometimes you’ll realize you don’t. Good. Close it. Both are wins. Because the goal isn’t less screen time. The goal isn’t perfect discipline. The goal isn’t becoming someone who never scrolls. The goal is something much simpler: To put you back in the driver’s seat. A phone should be a tool you pick up, not a place you disappear into. So pause. Ask yourself. And choose. Why? FREE & PRO why? is free for two apps. Pro removes the two-app limit. The yearly plan includes a 7-day free trial. Monthly and yearly subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase and, for renewals, within 24 hours before the end of the current subscription period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Lifetime is a one-time purchase and does not renew. REQUIREMENTS why? requires Screen Time access, which iOS requests during setup. You can withdraw this permission at any time. Showing all three answers together requires iOS 26.4 or later. On earlier versions, the question still appears with one answer and a way back. Fifteen minutes is the shortest access window Apple’s system allows. PRIVACY No account. No sign-up. No ads.
