RoastMate AI

Vent first. Then send the version that actually wins. RoastMate is the emotional-expression tool you wish you'd had after the last argument. Describe what happened in your own words, choose your tone — Composed, Sharp, Savage, Feral, or Vent — and get a response that helps you say what you actually mean. Feral and Vent create private drafts just for releasing the feeling — then, where Apple's on-device model is available, a single tap rewrites them into sharp, safe-to-send replies that hold your ground without crossing any lines. Pick from 24 writing styles — High EQ, Passive Aggressive, Japanese Keigo, Literary, Stand-up Bit, Shakespearean, Corporate Passive Violence, Argument Killshot, and more — to match the register of who you're talking to. Composed, Sharp, Savage and the rewrite run 100% on your device, on Apple's Foundation Models where available. Vent and Feral use a cloud model, and only after you give permission: Apple's on-device model is too gentle for real venting, so the cloud lets them write real drafts on any device. Switch Cloud AI off in Settings → AI & Privacy and Vent and Feral show curated examples instead. Without Apple's on-device model (iOS 18, macOS 14–15, or Apple Intelligence off or unsupported), Composed, Sharp and Savage (in every tool), the Argument Simulator and the one-tap rewrite show curated examples — always labeled, and never charged a credit. RoastMate is a creative writing and emotional expression tool. It is not designed to target or harass any individual — the AI is told to replace real names with roles and never to use slurs or threats, and a built-in safety filter blocks threats and self-harm language. FEATURES • Private draft modes: Vent for release, Feral (Pro) for stronger catharsis — then one tap rewrites either into a sendable reply • 5 intensity levels: Composed, Sharp, Savage, Feral, Vent • Reply Helper: paste a message you received, get a reply to send • Argument Simulator (Pro): rehearse a tough conversation, AI plays the other side • Emotion Translator: turn raw frustration into the polished language you need • Social Roast: paste a tweet or post, get a reaction ready to share • Situation Threads: pick up where you left off when the other person replies again • Sample Gallery: 17 sample situations — see RoastMate at work without typing • macOS menu bar quick roast — one click away from any app • Siri & Shortcuts integration via App Intents • iOS Share Extension — roast text from Mail, Messages, Safari, anywhere • Available in English, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語 Without Pro, AI-written generations use credits — new users get 10 free, plus 2 free a day in their first week. Curated examples never use a credit. PRO • Feral: the rawest private draft • Savage intensity • All 24 styles (16 are Pro-only) • Three versions of each Composed, Sharp or Savage reply instead of one • Multi-turn Argument Simulator • Unlimited history • No credits needed RoastMate Pro Monthly (1 month) or Yearly (1 year), auto-renewing — the app shows your local price before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple Account settings. PRIVACY With your permission, what you type for Vent and Feral goes through a developer-owned Cloudflare Worker to third-party LLM providers; the Worker keeps none of your text and rate-limits each device. Sign in with Apple is optional; if you sign in, your Apple-issued User ID (plus name and email, if you share them) is stored only on your device. No tracking, no advertising IDs, no fingerprinting, no third-party SDKs. Anonymized usage counters are off by default; turned on, they stay on your device until you export them.
