Decoda
Read full descriptionHide full description
Decoda reads any message through multiple perspectives — so you stop second-guessing what people meant. Paste a message you received — from a coworker, a teacher, a family member — or attach a screenshot. Decoda runs it through several "perspectives" at once: a Direct Reader who tells you what it literally says, an Empathy who surfaces what's underneath, a Risk Spotter who flags traps, a Mentor who suggests how to respond. Each one shares its own reading, side by side. One assistant gives you one answer. Decoda gives you the room of voices you'd want in your corner before you reply. ---What it's for • Workplace messages that read as cold or passive-aggressive — but might not be • Emails from teachers, advisors, or grading committees • Texts where you can't tell if you're being ghosted, soft-rejected, or just left on read • Group chats where the tone shifted and you missed why • Anything you've stared at for ten minutes wondering "what do they actually mean?" ---Features • Multiple perspectives per message — six built-in voices, plus unlimited custom ones • Build your own perspectives — name, tone, role, and notes. Make a "demanding client," a "tired teacher," a "best friend who tells you the truth" • Attach screenshots — Decoda reads the image, you don't have to retype anything • Active perspectives sidebar — toggle who's reading on the fly • Conversation history — every reading is saved, named, searchable • Light & dark themes https://www.konushan.com/eula
