Dated
Read full descriptionHide full description
There's a pattern in how you date. You can feel it, but you can't quite see it, because you're inside it. Dated is a private journal for your love life. Write after a date, a text spiral, a breakup, a situationship that won't end. Over time, the patterns you keep missing start to surface, in the words you already wrote. Therapy only hears the latest story. Friends react to this guy, not the last five. A blank notes app just holds the rant until you forget it. Dated is the one place that reads across everything. WRITE FOR FREE - Unlimited entries, by text or voice - Guided prompts built for dating, not generic "how was your day" - Tag the people you date and watch your timeline build - Full access to everything you've written, anytime - Export your entries whenever you want - iCloud backup and Face ID lock UPGRADE FOR THE INTELLIGENCE Premium is where the AI reads across your entries and shows you what you can't see alone: - Your Dating Blueprint: your type, your patterns, and the gap between what you want and what you choose - AI pattern insights across every entry and every person - Weekly summaries you'll actually want to screenshot - Emotional arcs that show how a connection shifted, week by week - Cluster view that groups the people who were quietly the same - AI insights included in your exports The writing is always free. The pattern recognition is the paid part. No AI in the free tier, no bait, no surprise. WHO IT'S FOR Single women who have done the therapy, read the books, built the career, and still keep ending up in the same place. In therapy or not. About to delete the apps again, or already have. Ever said "I keep dating the same type"? This shows you the answer, in your own words. PRIVATE BY DESIGN This is intimate writing, and it's treated that way. Entries on your device are encrypted. iCloud backups are protected by Apple's encryption. Your entries stay between you and your devices. No feed, no followers, no one reading over your shoulder. Dated doesn't diagnose you and it won't fix you. It isn't therapy. It's a private space to see what you keep choosing, so the next time can actually be different.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Resist at none against Dated's shown. Resist also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). Dated's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
