Youper has closed. Here is what it was, what the sources say happened, and what to check in whatever you try next.
Youper has closed. Its site carries a notice that it discontinued its services on 30 September 2026, and Common Sense Media reports it disappeared from the App Store and Google Play on 27 April 2026. It was an AI chatbot for mood tracking and reflection. TwentyThird is a different kind of tool and a partial alternative.
As of 2026-10-30. Each line links the page it comes from.
Common Sense Media reports Youper, with more than 3 million users, disappeared from the App Store and Google Play. Its methodology section gives “after 25 April”, so the exact day differs within the report.

Common Sense Media says Youper and Earkick left the stores without warning users or referring them to other care. It did not rate either app because neither could be downloaded.

A licensed psychologist configures Oneli, the agent a member talks to. This is in early access: psychologists are being verified, and until a member has one, the agent works on its own.

Its site describes Youper, Inc. of San Francisco and an AI chatbot for tracking mood, reflecting on emotional wellbeing and organising thoughts in a journal. It states the service is for people aged 18 and over.

WelloWork AB operates the service. Where a psychologist supervises, decisions about care belong to that psychologist, not to the AI. Without one, nobody at TwentyThird reads a member’s messages.

Its site states that responses have not been reviewed by a licensed mental health professional, that Youper is not FDA-cleared or approved, and that it is not a substitute for professional care.

The last one matters more after a closure.
No. Youper’s site carries a notice that it discontinued its services on 30 September 2026, and Common Sense Media reports it disappeared from the App Store and Google Play on 27 April 2026. Its methodology section gives “after 25 April”, so the day differs within that report.
Partly. Youper was an AI chatbot for mood tracking, reflection and journaling. TwentyThird is a psychodynamic AI for self-understanding that is not therapy. If you want a mood-tracking chatbot, it is not like-for-like.
We could not establish this from the sources. Common Sense Media says users were left without transition support, and Youper’s site links a privacy policy. Read that policy and contact Youper through the channel it lists to ask about your data.
Ask who designed it, who is responsible for what it says, what a human can see, what is checked for risk, what it will not do, the evidence, where data goes, the real price, export and deletion, and what happens if the company closes.
Last checked . TwentyThird is not therapy, not an AI therapist, not a medical device and not a crisis service.
If you are in danger, contact local emergency services now — 112 anywhere in the EU. TwentyThird is not an emergency service. How safety works
