A guy just hit you with the same copy-paste pickup line he's fired off at every girl this week — the "you fell from heaven" one, a rhyming couplet he clearly stole off the internet, or a "hey beautiful" at 2am with zero follow-up. You've got the ick, and normally you'd think of the perfect reply three hours later in the shower. Ick Reply gives you the clapback that destroys his whole bit right now, while you're still in the chat. Paste the text or drop in up to 5 screenshots of the conversation. Pick how hard you want to clap back on a 1 to 5 scale, from Playful to Nuclear. Pick a clapback style — Ice Queen, Mirror, Literalist, Derailment, Bureaucrat, Professor or Predator — or let Auto match the style to the message. You get three tailored comebacks, ready to copy. You also get the Ick Report: a cringe score from 0 to 100, a custom archetype that names the exact kind of guy you're dealing with, and a list of red flags pulled straight from his message. Receipts, basically. Made for: • Anyone dealing with unhinged openers from dating apps and social DMs • The group chat that lives on screenshotted messages • Anyone who always thinks of the perfect reply two hours too late • Collecting receipts, one clapback at a time Features: • Paste text or upload up to 5 screenshots of a single conversation • 5 strength levels: Playful, Witty, Sharp, Savage, Nuclear • 8 clapback styles, plus Auto mode that picks the deadliest one for the message • 3 tailored comebacks per run — pick your favorite or regenerate • Ick Report with cringe score, custom archetype and red flag list • One-tap copy, plus a history of every clapback you've saved You start with 5 free replies on the house. After that, a Pro subscription unlocks a generous weekly credit allowance. Screenshot the ick. Get the clapback. Post the receipt. Move on with your life.
