ToojooTry it

Running a French-English household, each in your own language

You still can't quite read the letter from the mairie, so you photograph it and send it to your partner — again. Sunday lunch with the in-laws moves fast and you catch maybe half of it. Somewhere between two languages, the shopping list gets written twice and the school newsletter never gets translated in time. Toojoo gives your household one shared memory: you write in English, your partner reads in French, and nobody has to translate by hand.

Three everyday headaches of a French-English household

Two phones, two languages, no shared list

You jot things down in Notes in English, they text you in French on WhatsApp. You end up with two bags of pasta and no washing-up liquid.

In Toojoo there's only one list: every item is translated automatically, each of you reads it in your own language and ticks it off in real time.

You're still the one who can't read the post

The CAF letter, the school newsletter, the dreaded carte grise — it all arrives in French, and your partner ends up explaining it out loud, again.

Speak your errand in your own language — “pick up the kids at 5” or “rendez-vous chez le médecin jeudi” — Toojoo files it, translates it and reminds you both. The paperwork stops being one person's job.

The dates from each side keep slipping through the cracks

A French bank holiday you'd never heard of, a celebration that lands on a different date back home, a birthday on your partner's side you find out about too late.

The shared calendar includes a cultural calendar: public holidays and celebrations from France and your own country, plus your birthdays, visible to you both.

Questions from French-English couples

Is the content actually translated, or just the menus?

Everything: every list, every stored item, every event you write in English shows up in French for your partner, and the other way round. The interface itself is available in both languages too.

Can my partner use the whole app in French?

Yes. They pick français when they sign up: menus, buttons and content all appear in French. You stay in English, in the very same household.

Do I need an App Store account?

No. Toojoo installs from your browser (Safari or Chrome) in about 20 seconds — no App Store or Google Play account needed.

Does it cope with sentences that mix English and French?

Yes. Write or speak however it comes naturally — even one sentence with both languages in it — and Toojoo sorts it out and translates it for your partner.

Is it free?

Yes, Toojoo is free. Create your household, invite your partner with a code, and you're sharing the same memory in under two minutes.
