Don't send the angry version. Send the one that gets you heard. ■ Send it without the regret That heated DM you almost sent. The email you typed at 1am. We've all hit send and immediately wished we hadn't. SoftReply turns your honest, emotional drafts into sendable messages — keeping what you actually mean, but dropping the edge that gets you in trouble. ■ Key features • 3 versions, every time Pick from 4 transform styles: Soften, Calm, Direct, or Sarcastic. Each tap gives you three distinct versions, so you can choose the one that fits your mood. • Tuned to the recipient Choose from 9 audience types — partner, friend, family, boss, business partner, customer, client, social media, or other. A reply to your boss isn't the same as one to your best friend. • Keeps your real voice We don't flatten you into generic AI politeness. Your meaning stays. Only the parts that would land badly get softened. • Auto language detection Type in English or Japanese — SoftReply detects your input language and replies in the same one. You can also override the output language manually. • Emotional pulse check Every draft gets scored on anger, rudeness, and pressure (low / medium / high), so you can see how it would land before you hit send. ■ When to use it • Before replying to a partner during an argument • When a friend cancels on you (again) • Responding to an unreasonable request from your boss • Pointing out a vendor's mistake without burning the bridge • Replying to a frustrating customer • Before posting a vent on social media ■ Subscription The Free plan includes a starter quota. The Pro plan unlocks 300 generations per month. 【Pro plan pricing】 ・Monthly: $3.99 / month (auto-renewing) ・Yearly: $29.99 / year (auto-renewing — about $2.50/month, saves around 37% vs monthly) Prices shown are for the US App Store. Prices in other regions follow Apple's regional price tiers and are displayed on the App Store listing and the in-app plan screen. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation. Subscriptions auto-renew at the same price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel anytime via Settings ▸ Apple ID ▸ Subscriptions on your iPhone. No partial refunds for unused portions of a period. ■ Privacy Your text is sent to the OpenAI API for generation. We do not sell your data or use it for ads.

Tenikki is a handwriting-only diary. There is no keyboard — anywhere. Just write the day in your own hand. ■ No keyboard There is no text-input UI at all. Nothing stands between you and writing. ■ One page a day One entry per day. Nothing is finalized automatically when the date changes, so you can keep adding later. Confirm by hand when you're done. ■ Three pens, three colors (free) Choose a ballpoint, pencil, or fountain pen. The pencil shades with pressure; the fountain pen varies its line. Write in black, red, or blue, in fine, medium, or thick. Eraser, undo/redo, and pinch-to-zoom included. ■ Sync across iPad & iPhone (free) Automatic sync via iCloud. Write on iPad, look back on iPhone. ■ Gentle reminders Get a reminder at your chosen time only on days you haven't written yet. ■ Paper styles, image sharing, and app lock (free) Choose ruled, grid, or blank paper. Share a full day as one image. Lock the app with Face ID, Touch ID, Optic ID, or your device passcode. Your first PDF export is free. ■ Pro (one-time purchase) • Remove ads • Unlimited PDF exports (split into pages by date) • Color picker (any color) A fixed, paper-like background and ruled lines keep the look identical across devices and in PDF. Ink colors stay true even in Dark Mode. Make the feel of handwriting a daily habit.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SoftReply at none against Tenikki's shown. SoftReply also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
