## What is Text Detective?

Text Detective helps you understand what messages really mean before you reply.

If a text feels confusing, passive-aggressive, flirty, cold, or unclear, Text Detective gives you a calm second opinion so you can respond with confidence instead of overthinking.

Paste a message or upload a screenshot, choose the context (dating, work, friends, or family), and get insight into tone, intent, and possible subtext, along with thoughtful reply suggestions.

Whether you’re navigating relationships, work chats, or everyday conversations, Text Detective helps you see what’s really being said.

How it works:
• Paste a text message or share a screenshot
• Choose the situation (dating, work, friend, etc.)
• Get a quick First Look at tone and intent
• Unlock the full Case File for deeper insight and reply ideas

What’s inside a Case File:
• A clearer read on tone and intent
• Important signals to watch for
• Reply suggestions based on your goal
• Calm guidance before you hit send

Why people use Text Detective:
• To stop overthinking messages
• To understand mixed signals
• To reply with confidence
• To handle awkward or emotional texts
• To get clarity before responding

Designed to be inclusive
Text Detective can be helpful for anyone who finds tone, sarcasm, or indirect language hard to read, including people with different communication or learning styles.
