## What is Countermoves?

Countermoves trains your texting the way a chess coach trains a player: practice against AI characters, get your real conversations graded move by move, and learn from one full conversation per lesson. When you need a reply right now, Counter writes up to three.

HOME
Today's jobs, your streak and a four-week plan. Today's line gives you one opening line a day; if you are 18 or over you can enter a chat that opens with it on that day's board. Prizes are XP only.

PRACTICE
Chat with an AI character who answers like a real person, with their own mood, patience and reasons. Seven tiers, each harder to read, and every chat runs on a clock you choose. Some chats cannot be won, and if you played well the app tells you so.

REVIEW
Upload up to eight screenshots of a conversation you had. Every message you sent gets a mark (brilliant, good, interesting, dubious, mistake, blunder), plus an accuracy score, what worked, what didn't, and the message where it turned.

LEARN
Twenty-two lessons, each built on one full conversation, where every turn is yours to judge. Plus a daily drill and Rush.

OPENINGS
First messages that give someone a reason to answer, each with a short note on why it works.

COUNTER
Send a screenshot of a conversation and get up to three replies that fit it, in seconds, in the vibe you pick: Flirty, Funny or Safe. It reads what the other person actually said and matches the way you write.

RANK
XP from Practice chats, lessons, Reviews and the daily challenge, a player card with your ratings, and a weekly league for your age group.

AI AND YOUR DATA
Counter, Review and Practice use Claude, an AI made by Anthropic. Before anything is sent, the app asks your permission and shows what is sent: the screenshots you pick and the messages you type in Practice. Anthropic does not train its AI on it. You can take it back any time in the app's Settings (the menu button at the top right of any tab). Counter replies, Practice chats and Review results can be reported from inside the app.

SUBSCRIPTION
Onboarding is free and includes one free Counter. After onboarding, Countermoves needs a subscription.
Countermoves Pro includes:
- Counter: up to 30 screenshots a day
- Practice: 5 chats a day
- Review: 3 reviews a day
- Learn: all 22 lessons
- Openings: every opening line
Some modes depend on the age you give in the app. Daily limits count the last 24 hours. Subscribers can add top-ups (5 Practice chats or 3 Reviews), which never expire.
Plans: weekly, or 3 months at a lower weekly rate. Your price is shown in the app before you buy.
New subscribers can start the weekly plan with a 3-day free trial (15 Counters and 1 Practice chat a day, and 1 Review), then it renews at the weekly price unless canceled at least 24 hours before the trial ends.
Payment is charged to your Apple ID. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions.

Every Practice character, and every person pictured in Practice and Learn, is AI-generated.
