Polygotcha
Local AI Translation Keyboard
Free · In‑App Purchases
PolyGotcha is a keyboard that translates as you type. Write in your own
language, pause, and the translation appears right above the keys. Tap it
to swap your text before you hit send.
It works everywhere you type: Messages, WhatsApp, Instagram, Mail, dating
apps, anywhere. No copying, no pasting, no switching to a translator app
and back.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Type in your language.
2. Pause for a moment. The translation appears in the bar above the keys.
3. Tap it to replace your text, or turn on automatic mode and just type.
Two-way translation reads what you typed and picks the direction on its
own. Reply to a French message in English and send it in French; when you
type French, it turns into English.
WORKS ON ANY IPHONE
Two on-device models. Apple Intelligence handles nuance and tone on iPhone
15 Pro and later. Apple Translation runs on every other iPhone, so an older
device is not locked out.
PICK YOUR TONE
Neutral, casual, formal, or street. Street tone writes the way people
actually text, with everyday slang instead of textbook phrasing. Tone is
available on the Apple Intelligence model.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Translation runs entirely on your iPhone. Your words never leave your
device: no servers, no accounts, no tracking. PolyGotcha has no backend to
send them to.
Full Access is optional and off by default. Leave it off and iOS itself
keeps the keyboard off the network. Turn it on only if you choose the
Apple Translation model, which iOS will not open to a keyboard otherwise.
It is still on-device translation either way.
LANGUAGES
Translate between English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Italian,
Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and more. The exact list depends on your device
and iOS version.
FREE AND PRO
Typing with the PolyGotcha keyboard is free, always, and so are your first
10 translations. After that Pro unlocks unlimited translation: 7 days free,
then $1.99 a month, $11.99 a year, or $24.99 once for lifetime access.
GOOD TO KNOW
PolyGotcha needs iOS 26 or later. The Apple Intelligence model also needs
an Apple Intelligence device (iPhone 15 Pro or newer); on any other iPhone,
choose Apple Translation in the app's Settings tab. Translations come from
on-device AI models, which can make mistakes, so double-check important
messages.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Emoji picker updates:
- Skin tones. Pick a default from the hand button in the emoji picker, or hold any emoji to choose a tone just for that one.
- Emoji search. Tap the search field above the emoji, then just type: "car", "pizza", "thanks". Searching works in Portuguese and French too for common words.
- Frequently Used no longer fills up with six shades of the same emoji.
Fixes:
- Missing letters added to the long-press keys: Turkish ı and ş, Polish ą, Vietnamese ă ơ ư đ, and Romanian ă ș ț. Several of these are languages PolyGotcha already translated but could not properly type.
- The language list now matches the model you picked. Choosing Apple Intelligence used to show Apple Translation's languages, so a pair could look available and then fail.
- Groundwork under the translation engine, with tests, so late results can never overwrite newer text.
