Hadora turns any awkward text into five ready-to-send replies — in five different tones. Polite. Professional. Savage. Funny. Boundaries. One tap to copy. One tap to share. THE PROBLEM Every day, you get a text you don't know how to reply to. Your boss's vague email. Your ex's "I miss us." A landlord's final notice. A friend's passive-aggressive "k." You stare at the keyboard. You open a chatbot. You type it into Google. You send something you regret, or you don't reply at all. THE FIX Hadora. Paste the text — or take a photo of the screen — and get five replies in five tones. Pick the one that fits. Copy. Send. Done. FIVE TONES, ONE TAP • Polite — kind, warm, defuses tension • Professional — formal, business-appropriate • Savage — direct, cutting, no mercy • Funny — light, witty, breaks the tension • Boundaries — firm "no" without cruelty YOUR TAKE, YOUR CALL Answering a question or an invite? Tell Hadora whether you want to say yes, no, or maybe — or let the five tones cover every stance so you just pick. Choose text, email, or DM formatting to match where the reply is going. BUILT ON APPLE INTELLIGENCE Hadora runs entirely on your iPhone using Apple's on-device Foundation Model. Your texts never leave your device. There is no cloud server. There is no account. There is no tracking. The only network call your phone makes is the one you make when you hit send. WORKS ON SCREENSHOTS Got a screenshot of an awkward text? Pick it from Photos or take a photo. Hadora reads the text and replies to it. No retyping. REQUIREMENTS • iPhone 15 Pro or newer • iOS 26.0 or later • Apple Intelligence enabled in Settings PRIVACY • No data collection • No analytics • No backend • No account • No network calls Made by a solo developer who got tired of not knowing what to say.
