## What is GutChecks?

Trust your instincts. Get clarity. Stay safe.
Something feels off — in a relationship, at work, online, at school, in your family, or with someone you thought you could trust —
but you cannot quite explain it? GutChecks gives you private, instant analysis of any confusing interaction — so you can spot
red flags before they become real danger.
THE ONLY RED FLAG APP FOR EVERY INTERACTION
Other apps only cover dating or workplace situations. GutChecks is different. It helps you spot manipulation, toxicity, and danger
across ALL types of interactions:
• Romantic relationships and dating
• Friendships and social circles
• Workplace and professional settings
• Family dynamics
• Online strangers and social media
• Scams, fraud, and financial manipulation
• Grooming and exploitation
• Radicalisation and extremist recruitment
• School, college, and peer pressure
KEY FEATURES
RED FLAG DETECTION — Describe any situation and get a clear breakdown of possible warning signs, pressure tactics, and
unhealthy patterns.
PATTERN TRACKING — GutChecks remembers your conversation history so you can see whether something is a one-off or a
trend.
QUICK PROMPTS — One-tap prompts for common scenarios: "Am I being gaslit?", "Is this a scam?", "Is this grooming?", "Is
someone trying to radicalise me?", "Is my boss manipulating me?"
HELPLINES AND RESOURCES — Select your country to get local helplines for domestic abuse, workplace harassment, fraud,
child protection, radicalisation support (e.g. Prevent), and mental health.
PRIVACY FIRST — No account required. No personal data stored. GDPR-compliant. 100% anonymous.
WHO IS GUTCHECKS FOR?
Anyone who needs clarity — in any situation:
• Young people navigating confusing or pressuring interactions
• Someone in a toxic relationship, friendship, or family dynamic
• An employee dealing with a manipulative colleague or boss
• Someone who thinks they are being scammed or financially exploited
• A parent concerned about their child's online safety
• Anyone who needs a reality check on any interaction
BUILT WITH PROFESSIONAL GUIDANCE
GutChecks is developed with input from mental health practitioners, social workers, and counsellors to help ensure responses
align with professional safeguarding recommendations.
GutChecks is not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, contact your local emergency services.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.2.6 — 2026-07-14

Safeguarding & crisis response (the bulk of this release)

New deterministic response pipeline (responsePipeline.ts) that classifies every message before it reaches the AI model — crisis, attachment/companionship, or disclosure inputs now get a hardcoded, clinically-reviewed template instead of a model-generated reply.
Crisis card redesign: the primary helpline (e.g. Samaritans/Childline) is now a large tappable call button up top, followed by secondary options, then a "call 999/911/000 now" grounding line (region-aware) and the GutChecks boundary disclaimer — replacing the old generic banner layout.
Removed the "come back and let GutChecks know how it went" task-style closer from crisis and standard responses — flagged as inappropriate immediately after a suicide disclosure.
New PatternResponseCard component renders standard (non-crisis) responses from a structured schema (validation / red flags / why it matters / recommended actions / reality check) instead of raw model prose, so output can't drift into unstructured paragraphs.
Non-streaming responses are now used everywhere (useLiveStream disabled) — more reliable on-device than SSE, which was causing errors.
AI backend

New Supabase gemini-proxy edge function — Gemini now has a server-side proxy (keeping the key off-device), alongside the existing claude-proxy.
Substantial rewrite of src/lib/ai.ts (675 lines changed) to route through the new classification/pipeline logic.
Subscription/trial UI

New subscriptionTrialUtils.ts centralizes trial copy so the CTA, badge, and billing disclaimer always match what RevenueCat/StoreKit actually returns, rather than being hardcoded.
Default selected plan on the paywall changed from yearly to monthly.
Housekeeping

Removed the old OtaDebugBanner / otaDiagnostics debug tooling (dev-only, wasn't meant to ship).
OTA/runtime-version config reworked (checkAutomatically: 'NEVER', explicit string runtime) to stop a bad OTA update from blocking app launch — a real crash this fixed previously.
eas.json switched from remote to local app-version source with explicit build numbers.

### 2.2.5 — 2026-06-12

Bug fixes.

### 2.2.3 — 2026-05-19

Bug fixes with AI responses.

### 2.2.2 — 2026-05-15

Voice in chat — Use the microphone to speak; your words appear as text so you can review before sending. Optional read‑aloud for assistant replies (with clearer privacy wording for speech recognition).
Smoother answers — Assistant replies can stream in as they’re generated when you’re not attaching an image.
Awareness Hub — New Hub tab to explore awareness content; state can stay in sync where your account supports it.
Recommend & Protect — New Recommend tab for sharing the app responsibly (referral flow where enabled).
Follow‑up on action steps — After chats that suggest next steps, you may see a quick optional check‑in (skipped or answered locally; anonymised summary can be sent to help improve guidance).
Reliability & updates — Improvements to how the app checks for over‑the‑air updates after launch, plus fixes and polish across onboarding, subscription, payments, and UI.

### 2.2.1 — 2026-04-29

Improved Home screen layout so content scrolls properly on smaller screens
Fixed header/title overlap issues for better readability
General stability improvements and bug fixes
