The Ick turns your conversations into clarity. Import a WhatsApp, Instagram or Snapchat chat — or just upload screenshots — and let AI read what's really going on between the lines. A crush, a situationship, an ex, a friend, or a whole group chat: The Ick names the subtext you already feel but can't quite put into words. WHAT YOU GET • Vibe Score — one honest read on the connection, built from 5 dimensions • Red Flags — the actual quotes, flagged and explained • Manipulation Score — tactics detected and rated 0–10 • Ghosting Patterns — see the fade coming before it lands • Interest Level — rising, falling, or flat • Attachment Styles — yours and theirs • Who Texts First — who's really carrying the effort • Top Phrases & Final Verdict — the drama, decoded • Group Chats — the group vibe, who runs it, who's going quiet • Full Report — save or share your analysis as a PDF PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your chat is sent to Google Gemini to generate the analysis, then dropped — nothing is stored on our servers, ever sold, or ever posted. Phone numbers, e-mails, addresses and card numbers in an exported chat file are anonymised on your phone before anything is uploaded. Your results live only on your phone. No account required to start. The Ick is made for entertainment and self-reflection. It's not a substitute for professional advice. Import. Analyze. Finally understand.
