Baked in San Francisco with love You know how we are all always a little frazzled these days? Just constantly distracted and brain fried — from work, from social media, whatever. That's why we made this app called Bro. It's just like… having a ridiculously supportive buddy on your lock screen. Sends you good vibes, checks in, and helps you keep your head on straight. You can talk to bro about whatever: work, relationship... and bro is the perfect sounding board. Bro even keeps a journal for you so that you can track your growth and connect the dots looking backwards. Bro's just here to keep you dialed in, keep you sharp and chill, and on top of your game. In this day and age, we could all use one more bro. --------------- SUBSCRIPTION INFO Our app offers an in-app subscription for a premium experience, including advanced AI models, unlimited memory, and unlimited cloud storage.

Dossier

Read full description

You already know what you're like. Dossier tells you what it costs. Thirty questions. Two minutes. Scored on the five-factor model — the one actually used in psychological research, not a personality type somebody invented in the 1940s. WHAT YOU GET Your archetype. One of 32, formed by where you land on all five factors. Not a flattering label — an honest one. Your percentiles. Where you actually sit against other people on Openness, Drive, Voltage, Warmth and Sensitivity. Your full file. What your profile gives you, what it costs you, and the blind spots that come with it. The trait interactions specific to you — what happens when your drive meets your anxiety, or your warmth meets your sensitivity. This is the part people find hard to read. COMPARE WITH ANYONE Send someone your code and a link to the app in one message. When they put it in, Dossier reads how the two of you actually work together — what holds, where it breaks, and which argument you're going to keep having. Comparing is part of Dossier Pro. No account needed for either of you. A DAILY READ One line a day, written for your profile. Blunt, specific, and occasionally uncomfortable. BUILT ON REAL PSYCHOMETRICS Thirty items, six per factor, half of them reverse-keyed so that agreeing with everything doesn't manufacture a personality. Your scores are placed against published adult reference data. We explain exactly how it works inside the app, including what it isn't. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything is scored and stored on your device. No account. No server. Nothing is uploaded, ever. Delete the app and the data goes with it. DOSSIER PRO Your complete file, the blind-spot report, full daily reads, every share card style, and comparing with anyone. One payment, unlocked forever. Not a subscription — nothing renews. Dossier is not a clinical instrument, a diagnosis, or a mental health assessment. It's a very well-built mirror.
