Decoded FAQ: what her texts mean, and how the app works

You paste a message she sent you — up to 500 characters — and Decoded gives you five things: what she likely means, the feeling underneath it, a tone flag (green, yellow or red), replies you could actually send, and the one thing not to say.

You can tell it whether you’re dating, together or married, because the same four words land differently at different stages. It reads one message at a time — it has no memory of your conversation and never sees anything you haven’t pasted. See what the output looks like →

Not yet. Decoded is pre-launch for iOS and Android. The waitlist is the only way in — we’ll email you the day it’s live, and that’s the only email you’ll get from us. There’s no download link on this site because there is nothing yet to download.

In the meantime, the guides are free, unlocked, and written to be useful whether or not you ever install anything.

There’s a free tier and it isn’t a trial. Five decodes a day, one suggested reply, your last three decodes in history, no card. If five a day is enough for you, you never have to pay us anything.

$9.99 a month, or $59.99 a year. It removes the daily cap, gives you three suggested replies instead of one, and keeps your full history with no 3-decode cap.

That is the entire difference. Same model, same prompt, same analysis — Premium buys volume, not a smarter answer. We’d rather say that plainly than dress it up as “advanced insight”.

Yes. Your decodes are saved to your account — that’s what makes history work — and the text you paste is sent to Anthropic’s Claude to be analysed. We don’t sell your data and we don’t hand your messages to advertisers.

If another app tells you it stores nothing, go and read its privacy policy — that’s the only way to know. We’d rather tell you the truth so you can decide what’s worth pasting. The privacy policy lists every company that touches it →

Not yet. Screenshot analysis is in development and is not in the first release. Today you paste the text, up to 500 characters. When it ships we’ll say so — until then we’re not going to sell you a feature that doesn’t exist.

We don’t have an accuracy number and we’re not going to invent one. Nobody in this category has genuinely measured this, including the apps quoting you a percentage — because there is no answer key for what another person meant. Only she knows that.

What Decoded gives you is a likely reading of one message, and it tells you when it isn’t sure. It’s a second opinion, not a verdict. If the decode and your gut disagree, ask her.

Claude, made by Anthropic. We did not train a model. If an app tells you it trained its own model on millions of conversations, ask it which model. We’re telling you ours.

What we built is the system prompt, the green/yellow/red tone scale, the relationship-stage context and the “don’t say this” — the part that decides what a good answer looks like. If you’d rather do it yourself, we wrote up how to use ChatGPT to analyse her texts, including the prompt.

No. It doesn’t write pickup lines, it won’t help you manipulate anyone, and it won’t help you “win” an argument — the system prompt tells it never to suggest manipulative replies and to promote understanding, not “hacking” a relationship.

The premise isn’t that women are hard to understand. It’s that texting strips out tone, face and timing, and people misread each other constantly in that vacuum. The channel is the problem, not her. When the honest answer is “just ask her”, Decoded says so instead of inventing a subtext.

No. Decoded at getdecoded.app is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any other app of the same name in either app store. If you arrived here looking for a different Decoded, this isn’t it.
