How it works

Three steps to know
what they meant.

From spiral to clarity in under 30 seconds. No group-chat screenshots, no three friends, no overthinking.

01

Drop it in

Paste a chat, upload a screenshot, or hold the mic and rant. Talking. reads it however you give it.

02

Read the pattern

We analyze pacing, specificity, emotional bids, and attachment style. You get a verdict in seconds.

03

Know your move

Interest, ghost risk, red flags, green flags, and your next move — drafted in your voice.

Rant into the mic

The talking part
of Talking.

Tired of typing out everything that happened? Hold the mic and tell the story in your own words — up to 3 minutes. We transcribe on-device and decode it like any other thread.

  • On-device transcription — audio never leaves your phone
  • Captures tone, pacing, the things only you noticed
  • Faster than typing during a 1am spiral

"…and then he said he'd text me Saturday but it's Sunday now and I'm just…"
Reply drafter

Three tones.
One perfect text.

Stuck on what to reply? Talking. drafts three options in distinct tones — warm, playful, firm — each written in your voice. Copy, paste, send. Done.

  • Sounds like you, not a chatbot
  • Unlimited drafts — tap reload for three more
  • Lowercase, under 160 chars, no AI giveaways
What should I say back?
Three tones — pick what fits.
warm
"hey, tomorrow's kind of packed for me. how's friday looking?"
playful
"maybe is doing a lot of heavy lifting in this text lol. friday?"
firm
"i'd rather lock in a real time than keep saying maybe. friday work?"
Pattern memory

Every decode.
Every partner.

Your decodes save to a private timeline. Track how their pacing shifts, how their effort changes, how their tone warms or cools — over days, weeks, or months.

  • Unlimited timelines, one per person
  • See momentum at a glance — pulling closer or drifting?
  • Locked behind Face ID. Yours only.

★★★★★

"I showed it the texts and it said exactly what my therapist has been saying for six months. Was kind of offended honestly."

Maya, 23 · Brooklyn
★★★★★

"The reply drafter is lowkey unhinged. Sounded more like me than I do. Sent it. He actually made a plan."

Aisha, 21 · LA
★★★★★

"Dropped a 3-minute voice memo about my situationship and it basically diagnosed me. I'm keeping it."

Lena, 25 · London
★★★★★

"It's private. Screenshots aren't saved anywhere. That's the only reason I tried it. Worth every dollar."

Priya, 24 · Toronto
★★★★★

"I used to send my bestie screenshots at 2am. Now I just decode it and she gets to sleep."

Chloe, 22 · Austin
★★★★★

"The ghost forecast said 9 days. He texted on day 11. Scary accurate."

FAQ

Real questions,
honest answers.

Is it actually private?

On the free plan, decodes run entirely on your phone — no text, no screenshots, no audio ever leaves your device. On Pro, your decode text is sent over an encrypted connection to our server so a higher-quality AI model can read it, then discarded. We never sell data, and we never train public AI models on your conversations. Voice memos are transcribed on-device; only the transcript enters the Pro pipeline.

Does the other person know?

No. Talking. runs on your phone only. You paste the text; no one else sees anything. We recommend decoding conversations you're part of — not someone else's.

How accurate is it really?

Directional, not diagnostic. The AI reads patterns humans miss — pacing, specificity, emotional bids, attachment-style signals — but it's not a verdict on a person. Use it as a second opinion, not a gospel.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Subscriptions are managed through Apple — cancel in one tap from iPhone Settings → your Apple ID → Subscriptions. If you cancel during the 3-day trial you're never charged. Refunds are handled by Apple.

What happens to my decodes if I delete the app?

They're stored locally on your phone, so uninstalling removes them. If you want to keep them across devices, sign in with the same account — your history syncs through your account, not the device.

Is Talking. a dating app?

No. There's no swiping, no matching, no profiles of other people. It's just you, your phone, and the conversations you're already having elsewhere.

Do I need to be over 18?

You must be at least 13 to use Talking. If you're under 16 in the EU, or under 13 in the US, you need a parent or guardian's permission.

A soft place for the texts that sting.

Free to download. Unlimited on-device decodes. Pro when you need the deep read.
