The Chat Receipts
Read full descriptionHide full description
You're not imagining it. See who texts more, who replies slower, who always starts the conversation, and which red flags actually show up - with receipts from your own chat. The Chat Receipts turns an exported WhatsApp .txt/.zip file into a private, screenshot-ready deck of receipts. No vague advice. No fake psychology. Real chat stats, visual verdict cards, and evidence strips from your own conversation. Use it for: - Crush chats and situationships - Exes, partners, and best friends - Message count face-offs - Reply time comparisons - Ghosting and longest silence checks - Deleted message receipts - Double texts, top words, top emoji, night owl energy, and more How it works: 1. Export a WhatsApp chat without media. 2. Share the .txt/.zip file to The Chat Receipts. 3. Pick who you are and what kind of chat it is. 4. Get the Receipts. Privacy first: Your chat analysis runs on your iPhone. Your chat text is not uploaded to a chat analysis server. The Chat Receipts is made for the question everyone secretly has after scrolling a conversation: what is really going on here? Subscription required to unlock full receipt decks, verdicts, and saved receipts. The Chat Receipts is an independent app and is not affiliated with WhatsApp or Meta.

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.
