DateBot is AI for your dating life. Modern dating is messy. Dating apps. Mixed signals. Situationships. Your ex texting like nothing happened. DateBot helps you figure out what’s going on, what to do next, and what to say. It gets to know you, the people you’re talking to, and what’s happened between you. What you want matters. So does what they did last time. Send a screenshot. Ask about a text. Tell it how the date went. FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON Is that a red flag, or are you overthinking it? They say they want to see you, but you’re always making the plans. They’re a dry texter, but they keep showing up. Your ex wants another chance. Has anything actually changed? DateBot looks at the messages, the effort, and what’s happened before. It helps you spot mixed signals, notice when someone’s words don’t match their actions, and see when things might be going better than you think. If it needs to know more, it’ll ask you. ADVICE THAT GETS YOU Looking for a relationship? Keeping it casual? Still figuring it out? DateBot gets to know what you want, how you handle things, and where you tend to get stuck. Maybe you give people too many chances. Maybe you talk yourself out of making a move. Maybe you keep ending up in the same kind of situation. DateBot helps you notice those patterns and figure out what to do about them. IT REMEMBERS THE PEOPLE The person from the dating app. The one you’ve been seeing for months. The ex you said you were done with. DateBot remembers what you’ve told it about them and what’s happened so far. The dates. The canceled plans. The mixed signals. The things you’re still trying to figure out. Come back after the date, when they finally reply, or when they pop back up out of nowhere. Pick up where you left off. KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT DateBot will tell you straight. Sometimes you need a push to ask them out. Sometimes you need to clear things up. Sometimes you need to hear “do not text your ex.” It can point out when you’re doing all the work, when you might be making excuses for someone, or when it’s time to stop overthinking and go for it. AND WHAT TO SAY New to dating? Not great at texting? Staring at their message with no idea what to say? DateBot can help with that too. Get help starting a conversation on a dating app, replying to a DM, flirting, asking someone out, or saying something that’s hard to say. It helps you find words that sound like you and fit what’s going on between you. From the first match to “what are we?” and everything after. New person. New message. New date. Same DateBot.

UNLOOP

Your phone isn't the problem. The loop is. You open an app for one thing and surface forty minutes later. Unloop puts a wall in that loop — a real one, built on Apple's Screen Time — and makes getting past it cost exactly enough to make you stop and think. BLOCK WHAT EATS YOUR DAY • Pick the apps, categories and websites that pull you in. • Block them on a schedule — evenings, mornings, work hours — or all the time. • Set a daily usage limit: when an app has had its minutes, the shield comes up for the rest of the day. • Need a clean hour right now? Block Now starts a timed block in one tap, with a countdown on your Lock Screen. UNLOCKING COSTS SOMETHING Most blockers have an off switch one tap away. Unloop doesn't. • Choose how firm each rule is: Soft asks once, Firm makes you hold, Strict makes you earn it. • Earn a few minutes, not an off switch: unlock for 5, 10 or 15 minutes, and the shield comes back on its own. • Every unlock today costs double the one before, and each rule has a daily limit. "Just once more" gets expensive fast. UNLOCK RITUALS Strict rules ask for a ritual before they open: • Hold — keep your thumb down, no shortcuts. • Transcribe — retype a phrase exactly. One typo and you start over. • Breathe — a minute of paced breathing, then decide again. • Walk — steps buy minutes. 20 steps for every minute you want. • Intention — say why you're opening it, then look at the answer. • Wait — a minute of nothing. Most urges don't last that long. EVERY "GO BACK" COUNTS The shield keeps score. "You've backed off 3 times today. Make it 4." Walking away from an unlock counts as a win and earns stamps — because resisting is the point, not a failure. SEE THE PATTERN • Time you took back, estimated screen time, streaks and your resistance rate over the last two weeks. • Why you unlock, week over week — "bored" looks different on a chart. • How your mood tracks your focused days. • What the scrolling costs you in a year, in hours you could spend on something else. • A weekly receipt of your week, ready to share. REPLACE THE SCROLL Log what you did instead — walked, read, cooked, called someone — and rate the day with one tap in the evening. It all stays in a journal on your phone. ALWAYS WITHIN REACH • Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets for your status and streak. • A Live Activity while a block runs. • Siri and Shortcuts: "Block for a while." • Notifications only about things you set up — a limit reached, a block ending, a strict rule about to start. No streak nagging. No "we miss you."
