Behind Sugu-Eng

Why this app exists

💬

The right word just wouldn't come

Living abroad, there were plenty of moments: "How do I say that in English?" Pulling up a translation app and typing it out always felt too slow. And knowing what you typed might end up on someone's server felt uncomfortable. That friction is what started this.

🌐

There's no single right English

Formal, natural, casual — the same thought lands differently depending on the situation. Sugu-Eng gives you all three so you can pick the one that actually fits. Privacy concerns were real too, so it was built from the start to keep your words off any external server.

Privacy

What you say stays on your phone.

Privacy isn't a policy statement — it's baked into the API call itself.

API-level training opt-out

Claude API is called with training disabled. Not a policy — a technical flag on every request.

History stored on-device only

Your translation history lives in local storage on your iPhone — never on external servers.

Honest about voice recognition

Voice passes through Apple's servers (retained ≤2 yrs by Apple). Use text mode if that's a concern.
