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.
