YouWill what you will
Shakespeare, applied to your life
A guide for your problems, a diary for your emotions, a stage for studying the characters. You bring a situation, a page, or a role: YouWill answers with the canon — the passage that applies, act and scene, checked word by word.
How it works, with a real example
You describe a situation — at work, in a relationship, in life. YouWill brings you the case from Shakespeare's canon that contains the same mechanism, the lesson it yields, and the questions worth asking. Not a quote of the day: the passage that applies, with act and scene.
Every quotation the app shows is checked against the text, word by word, before you see it.
«A colleague tells me things about a third person and asks me not to check with anyone else.»
The case: Iago, in Othello.
The warning sign is not the lie: it is the request not to verify with anyone else.
“O, beware, my lord, of jealousy! It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock the meat it feeds on”
Othello, act 3, scene 3
A diary that reads you back
The diary is yours alone: no one else reads it — no administration route touches those pages.
Rosalind answers each page with what she reads in it. Prospero's chart gives what you feel a name and a place among 152 emotions — from the name to the body. And your traces — the emotions you looked up, the works you read, day by day — become a portrait over time.
I said no to the extra project, and I keep going back to it. Not guilt, exactly — something quieter, that wants to be looked at.
Rosalind
You call it doubt; the page reads more like relief, still wearing doubt's clothes.
Relief Unease Melancholy
A workshop on the character's part
Choose the play, choose the character: the workshop works on that part alone — what they say, what the text gives, what the text does not say. No invented lines: a quotation that is not in the part is removed before you see it.
For an actor preparing a role, a student tracing a motivation, or anyone who wants to look a character in the eye. The monologues are there too — and the whole canon stays free to browse: 38 plays, 4 poems, the 154 sonnets.
«Why the bond? What do you want from Antonio — the money, or something else?»
what they say
“If you prick us, do we not bleed? … And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?”
The Merchant of Venice, act 3, scene 1
what the text gives
His reasons come before his knife: the insults on the Rialto, the spitting, the daughter gone. The bond is an answer to a wrong, not an appetite.
what the text does not say
How he grieves for Jessica when no one is watching: the text never gives him a scene alone. An actor has to decide.

The whole canon: 38 plays, 4 poems and the 154 sonnets, browsable — free, always.
What it costs
Every account starts with free readings — no card needed. After that, readings are bought in packages, once: there is no subscription and nothing renews. The canon, the games and the emotion map stay free even when your readings run out.
What it is not
It is a tool for reflection, not therapy and not legal, medical or financial advice. The replies are generated by an AI model and can be wrong. If you are in danger or thinking of harming yourself, the app stops and shows you real emergency contacts instead of a reading.
