A reader’s companion
Reading,
in another language.
At dusk, the lighthouse on the cliff blinks, and the village folds itself into the slow rhythm of the bay.
Glide across to read it in Spanish.

What it does
yunit picks a handful of unfamiliar words on every page you read, sets a small gloss above each, and leaves the rest of the sentence untouched. It works on articles, novels in plain HTML, video transcripts, drafts in another tab, the long Wikipedia paragraph you’ve been meaning to finish.
Select any word or phrase yourself to translate it on the spot. A single click keeps it in your collection.
On keeping what mattered
yunit captures the surrounding sentence, the language pair, and the date, then brings the word back to you when it’s worth revisiting. Your collection grows quietly between sessions, a commonplace book of the vocabulary you have chosen to remember.
Synced nightly on a free account, live across every device on Premium.

yunit is small, it is new, and it is used by a handful of readers who found it early. Everything described here works today, and it is all still changing. Features, limits, and prices may move while we learn what readers actually need. If something changes for you, we say so first.
If something is rough or missing, write to support@yunit.app. A person reads every message, and beta feedback decides what gets built next.
