Saylo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Not sure what to text back? Drop in their message and Saylo takes it from there. Paste or type what they said, or add a chat screenshot. Saylo reads the situation, picks a goal and tone for you, and writes 3 replies you'd actually send. Each reply takes a different approach, so you choose the move. MADE FOR iPhone Duo • Closed: tabs and buttons sit in the side bar, and your chats stay clear of it. • Open and upright: the bar moves up into the top band, with everything else below it. • Open and sideways: two panes, Reply on one side and People and Me on the other. Replies, chats and Saylo+ open right in the pane you're using. • Fold it, open it or turn it mid-reply: Saylo keeps what you were typing. You get the same two-pane layout on iPad in landscape. SAYLO'S READ Before the replies, Saylo sums up what's going on: how interested they seem, what they might mean, and how to answer. See it differently? Change the goal or tone with one tap and the replies are rewritten. 3 REPLIES, 3 DIFFERENT MOVES Play along, turn it back, or make a move. Every reply is labelled by its approach and comes with a short note on why it works. ONE-TAP TWEAKS Make all 3 shorter, more natural or funnier, add a question, or drop the emoji. RIGHT INSIDE YOUR KEYBOARD Switch to the Saylo keyboard in any chat app. Copy their message, tap Get 3 replies, and insert the one you like without leaving the conversation. SHARE A SCREENSHOT Stuck mid-chat? Take a screenshot, tap Share and choose Saylo. Saylo's read and 3 replies appear right in the share sheet. Copy one and you're back in your chat. EVERY CHAT, SORTED BY PERSON People keeps each conversation in its own thread and shows whose move it is. When a chat goes quiet, tap Revive and Saylo writes a message to restart it, based on what you've talked about. OPENING LINES Screenshot a dating profile and Saylo writes 3 openers based on what's in it. YOUR TEXTING VIBE Get a card that shows your texting personality, built from the replies you actually send, and share it. MADE FOR NON-NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKERS Replies read naturally, the way a native speaker would text. Saylo also works in 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Español, Português, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, العربية and Türkçe. SAYLO+ • Unlimited replies (the free plan includes 6 a day) • Sounds like me: Saylo learns how you text and writes in your style • Batch replies: up to 5 screenshots at once, each sorted to the right person • Chat history kept forever Saylo+ is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. PRIVACY The Saylo keyboard doesn't record what you type. It only sends the message you give it, when you ask for replies. We don't sell your data, and there are no ads. Saylo is here to help you say what you mean. It isn't for pressuring or manipulating anyone. Privacy Policy: https://saylo.innofun.digital/privacy Terms of Use: https://saylo.innofun.digital/terms

ReplyBuddy is your personal reply wingman, helping you text more naturally and with higher EQ on dating apps and messaging. Unlike other "pickup line generators," ReplyBuddy remembers the context—it builds long-term memory for each person (their profile + your chat history), so its suggestions fit your real relationship instead of generic templates. FEATURES · Import screenshots: Drop in your chat screenshots; on-device text recognition splits the conversation automatically—no retyping. · Multiple tones: Get three suggestions in different styles at once (funny / sincere / direct by default), and switch among nine tones with one tap (gentle, confident, playful, teasing, romantic…)—pick one, copy, send. · Polish your draft: Not sure about what you wrote? Let it refine your phrasing and fine-tune the tone. · What did they mean: Decode the subtext of a confusing message in one tap—or use Quick Read without creating a contact: paste any conversation for an instant analysis and follow-up questions. · Pre-send check: Ask "is this okay to send?"—the AI flags risks and suggests a better version. · Openers: Import their dating profile screenshots to get personalized conversation starters. · Date cheat sheet: A one-page brief before you meet—topics you've covered, things to mind, where you left off. · Conversation review: A coach's-eye review across your contacts points out your communication habits—it gets to know you the more you use it. · Tip notes: Import chat tips you've collected; the AI distills them and factors them into future suggestions. · System keyboard—no app-switching: Install the keyboard extension and use ReplyBuddy right inside any chat app's text field—copy their message to import it, then tap a reply to drop it straight into the box, without ever leaving the conversation; polish your own draft in place too. PRIVACY FIRST · Screenshots are text-recognized on your device; images are never uploaded. · Chat content is sent over an encrypted connection only when you tap Generate—used for that request and never stored on our servers. · No sign-up, no account—we have none of your identity. · No ads, no tracking. ABOUT SUBSCRIPTIONS · New users get free trial credits to try before deciding. · ReplyBuddy Pro unlocks unlimited generations and all features. Monthly $9.99 / Yearly $69.99 (best value). (300 premium-mode generations per month; beyond that, unlimited standard-mode generations.) · Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. · Subscription automatically renews and is charged 24 hours before the end of the current period unless canceled beforehand. Manage or turn off auto-renewal anytime in your App Store account settings. · Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ · Privacy Policy: https://www.zihuahuang.com/replybuddy/privacy/ Your chat history and profiles live on your device; deleting the app clears all local data.
