Reading your conversation with Sam.

Each line ticks over when that part of the work is actually done. There’s no timer.

  1. 37,199 messages found

  3. Calculating reply patterns…
  4. Changes over time

Every number is counted. None are guessed.

The numbers come from your messages, on your phone. A language model helps word the sentences, and it can’t add a number: a sentence that tries is thrown out and replaced.

Who starts

A conversation starts after six hours of quiet. We count who sends the first message, every single time.

What happens to your chat

A chat is about as private as it gets. Here is exactly where yours goes.

No account.
There’s nothing to sign up for.
Numbers are counted on your phone.
Every percentage, count and date in your report is computed on the device.
Screenshots are read on your phone.
The pictures never leave it.
Sentences are written with a language model.
To write them, the counted facts and short excerpts are sent, with phone numbers, emails and links removed first, and from an export your two names too. We don’t keep them.
Reports stay on your phone.
They’re stored on this phone. The sentences written for them are also kept on our server for 30 days, tied to a fingerprint of the file rather than to you. Delete a report and it’s gone from the phone.
No ads.
And nothing that follows you across other apps.
The whole story, step by step

Questions

Conversations between two people: a WhatsApp export, or screenshots from apps like Instagram, iMessage, Snapchat or Hinge. Group chats aren’t supported.

An export has every message, every year, so it can show reply times, turning points and silences. Screenshots only show what’s on screen, so a quick read stays with what’s visible, like who writes more and the words you share. How each finding is counted

Around 200 messages over at least two weeks, with both of you writing. Longer chats have more to find.

WhatsApp on a computer often has only the last few months. Your phone has the whole history. How to export a WhatsApp chat on iPhone

Yes. Long-press it in Your reports and delete it. The conversation and its report are removed from your phone.
