Are they into you, or are you overthinking it? Reread reads your chat screenshots and turns the confusion into something you can actually see. Drop in screenshots of your texts — or paste the conversation. Reread analyzes it and gives you a clear, honest read on where things actually stand. No diary, no journaling, no guessing. WHAT YOU GET • A relationship health score from 0 to 100 — all that "I don't know what this is" turned into one number. • Three dimensions, scored and explained — Communication, Reciprocity, and Red flags — each backed by what's actually in the messages, not vibes. • Flags with the receipts — every red or green flag comes with the exact quote that earned it. • Their attachment style — secure, anxious, or avoidant, read from how they text. A pattern, not a diagnosis. • Who's really carrying it — who starts the conversations, who double-texts, who takes hours to reply. Counted, not felt. • A trend over time — read after read, see whether it's getting better, getting worse, or whether you were imagining it. • One thing to try next — a small experiment for the week, picked from your read's weakest signal. • A shareable ticket — your read as a clean card, ready for the group chat. FOR THE 2AM QUESTIONS Why do they pull away when you get close? Is it just you? Are you the only one putting in the effort? Reread was built for the mixed-signals, left-on-read, "is this even going anywhere" kind of situationship — and it answers with what's actually in your chat. HONEST BY DESIGN Reread describes patterns, not diagnoses. It's a mirror for your conversation, not a verdict on a person — and it's not therapy or professional advice. It doesn't tell you what to do; it shows you what's there, so you can decide. NO ACCOUNT NEEDED Your first two reads are free — no sign-up, no email, nothing to create. After that, Reread Pro (an auto-renewable subscription) unlocks more reads. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account; subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and you can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings. Terms of Use: https://reread.ferbov.dev/terms Privacy Policy: https://reread.ferbov.dev/privacy Stop rereading the same texts at 2am looking for a clue. Let Reread do it once — and tell you straight.
