Tell

Features
Read full description

He left you on read. Then liked your story. Then texted "wyd" at 1am. What is he doing? Tell reads the conversation for you. Drop screenshots of the chat or paste it as is — Tell decodes what he's really saying, flags the games he's playing, and drafts your next move in words that sound like you. WHAT TELL DOES • The read — a straight verdict on what's actually going on: into you, bored, breadcrumbing, or playing you • His tells — the signals hiding in his texts: red flags, green flags, mixed signals, mind games • Your move — a reply drafted for what you want next: hook him harder, create distance, or get the truth • My voice — paste a few of your own messages once, and every draft sounds like you, not a robot BUILT FOR THE 1AM SPIRAL Stop forwarding screenshots to the group chat and waiting for opinions. Tell answers the questions you're actually asking: • Is he into me? • Am I overreacting? • Is something off — is he being shady? • Should I text back or let it breathe? PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-up, no feed • Your chat goes to the server only while it's being read — finished reads stay on your phone • Delete every read from your device in one tap Tell Premium unlocks unlimited reads with a 3-day free trial, then a weekly auto-renewing subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in App Store settings. Terms: https://lifewheel.us/tell/legal/#terms Privacy: https://lifewheel.us/tell/legal/#privacy

Stop rereading the same conversation. Gut Feel turns conversation screenshots into a straightforward read on what’s happening and what to do next. Upload the thread, add a little context, and Gut Feel will: • highlight green flags, red flags, and mixed signals • explain the patterns behind key messages • give you a clear verdict and suggested next move • keep your reads organized by person for easy follow-up Built for the “what did they mean?” moment Gut Feel is for the texts you keep reopening: the sudden distance, the breadcrumb, the vague plan, the reply that feels warm until you read it again. Get a second perspective without sending the whole thread to the group chat. Privacy by design You choose every screenshot you share. Gut Feel removes image metadata before upload, deletes server-side screenshot copies after processing, and does not sell your data or use conversation content for advertising. Your transcript and read remain in your account history until you delete them. Gut Feel uses artificial intelligence. Results can be incomplete or wrong and are not therapy, medical care, legal advice, crisis support, or a statement of another person’s intentions. You remain responsible for your decisions and messages. Gut Feel is for adults 18 and older. Subscriptions Gut Feel offers weekly auto-renewable subscription plans with one, two, or four reads per renewal period. Prices and any introductory offer are shown before purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled in your Apple Account settings. Unused reads do not roll over.
