Don't send the angry version. Send the one that gets you heard. ■ Send it without the regret That heated DM you almost sent. The email you typed at 1am. We've all hit send and immediately wished we hadn't. SoftReply turns your honest, emotional drafts into sendable messages — keeping what you actually mean, but dropping the edge that gets you in trouble. ■ Key features • 3 versions, every time Pick from 4 transform styles: Soften, Calm, Direct, or Sarcastic. Each tap gives you three distinct versions, so you can choose the one that fits your mood. • Tuned to the recipient Choose from 9 audience types — partner, friend, family, boss, business partner, customer, client, social media, or other. A reply to your boss isn't the same as one to your best friend. • Keeps your real voice We don't flatten you into generic AI politeness. Your meaning stays. Only the parts that would land badly get softened. • Auto language detection Type in English or Japanese — SoftReply detects your input language and replies in the same one. You can also override the output language manually. • Emotional pulse check Every draft gets scored on anger, rudeness, and pressure (low / medium / high), so you can see how it would land before you hit send. ■ When to use it • Before replying to a partner during an argument • When a friend cancels on you (again) • Responding to an unreasonable request from your boss • Pointing out a vendor's mistake without burning the bridge • Replying to a frustrating customer • Before posting a vent on social media ■ Subscription The Free plan includes a starter quota. The Pro plan unlocks 300 generations per month. 【Pro plan pricing】 ・Monthly: $3.99 / month (auto-renewing) ・Yearly: $29.99 / year (auto-renewing — about $2.50/month, saves around 37% vs monthly) Prices shown are for the US App Store. Prices in other regions follow Apple's regional price tiers and are displayed on the App Store listing and the in-app plan screen. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation.
