Cooked

Read full description

He texts back in six hours. Mid-conversation. You spiral. Cooked tells you what your group chat won't. Drop a pic of your crush, situationship, or that ex you keep stalking. Swipe ten behavior cards we generate from the photo and your context. Get a real verdict โ€” red flag score, green flag score, full breakdown, and a three-step action plan you can actually use this week. WHAT YOU GET โ€ข Red flag / green flag scores tuned to YOUR situation โ€ข Five-dimension breakdown: communication, emotional maturity, consistency, boundary respect, future potential โ€ข Receipts โ€” every red flag and green flag, written plain โ€ข Action plan: three concrete moves for this week โ€ข History tab so you can compare reads side-by-side HOW IT WORKS 1. Pic of the subject + a nickname 2. Pick the relationship: crush, dating, situationship, partner, ex 3. Swipe ten yes/no cards (90 seconds) 4. Read the verdict BUILT FOR GEN-Z No horoscope. No 'trust the universe.' Direct, honest, slightly mean โ€” like your bestie who knows. PRIVACY Photos are processed for the read and deleted from our servers right after. Nothing stays. Cooked is for entertainment and self-reflection. It's not therapy. USE COOKED WHEN โ€ข A new match's profile feels off but you can't name why โ€ข You're three weeks into a situationship and need a verdict โ€ข You're stuck deciding whether to text the ex โ€ข The group chat is split 50/50 โ€ข You want a second opinion that isn't your mom FAQ Q: Is this an AI dating coach? A: Cooked uses AI to generate the questions and score your swipes โ€” but the read is built around YOUR observations, not a chatbot's projection. Q: Do you store my photos? A: No. Photos are uploaded for one analysis run and deleted from our servers immediately after. Nothing persists. Q: Will my crush know I checked them? A: No. Cooked never contacts the subject and nothing leaves your phone except the photo for processing. Q: How accurate is the verdict? A: As accurate as your swipes are honest. Cooked translates the patterns YOU confirm โ€” it doesn't invent flags out of thin air. Drop the pic. Get the receipts. Stop spiraling. WHAT MAKES COOKED DIFFERENT We're not horoscopes. We're not "trust the timing." We're a structured ten-card behavioral check that tells you what your gut already suspects, in words you can use. Built by people who've been the friend in the group chat too many times. PRICING Cooked is a subscription app. The verdict, breakdown, action plan, and saved history all unlock with an active subscription โ€” weekly or yearly. Cancel anytime in App Store settings. PRIVACY & SAFETY Cooked is built for self-reflection on situations YOU are in. We never contact, profile, or store data about the person in the photo. The subject's image is used only to seed the AI's question generation, then deleted from our servers. Stop spiraling. Start deciding.
