You can tell when a message came from a robot. So can they.

Subtext is a writing and communication assistant for everyday messages, replies and hard conversations. Write from scratch, paste a draft, or share a screenshot of a thread, and Subtext shows how your message may come across, then helps you say it clearly, in your own voice.

No. People use it most for texts and hard personal conversations, but just as much for Slack messages, work email, feedback and follow-ups. If it is written to another person, it works.

No. Subtext is a writing and communication assistant. It does not provide therapy, diagnosis or medical advice, and its suggestions are not always right, so read anything before you send it. You know the relationship, it does not.

No. General chatbots write a message for anyone. Subtext is built for real conversations between real people. It reads tone and the context of the thread, keeps your voice, and works on your phone and in your browser.

They polish what you wrote: grammar, clarity, a professional register, and Grammarly will tell you how your own sentence sounds. Subtext reads the whole conversation: what came before, how your reply is likely to land there, and which words carry the risk. Most people keep both kinds of tool, they do different jobs. The full comparison of Subtext with Apple, Google, Grammarly and ChatGPT goes through each one.

Yes, that is what it is for. It starts from what you already wrote instead of generating a message from nothing, and it shows you how much it changed so you can pull it back. Nothing is sent for you either. You copy the version you want and send it yourself.

It works from what you wrote and holds on to what you meant, instead of writing something new in its place. Every version made from your own message shows how much of it was edited, so you can see when a rewrite has drifted. And nothing is final. You can edit any version however you like before you send it, and you are the one who sends it.

Yes. Open the actions on a draft and choose Manual edit. The message drops back into the input box, so you can fix the one word that is off and leave the rest exactly as it was. You can also just say what you want changed, like one word landing too strong, and only that part moves. Tapping anything Subtext has flagged highlights the exact words it means, so you know which one to reach for.

It reads your line in the context of the whole exchange, then marks the exact words that could land as harsh, cold or passive-aggressive and names the feeling underneath them, and every tag explains itself. Then, in the same reply, it offers versions, each flagged safe to send or worth another look, and you choose.

The safe-to-send score is Subtext's estimate, from 5 to 100, of how likely a version is to land the way you meant it. The number stays behind the badge. A version that scores high enough shows safe to send, one that does not shows a warning sign, and tapping either gives you the line naming what put it there. It reads the words in front of it and cannot know the person you are writing to, or what happened between you last week, so treat it as a second reading rather than a measurement. A warning sign is a reason to look again at the words it marked, not proof the message is wrong.

No, and be careful with anything that says it can. Subtext reads the words in front of it, so it can tell you what a message is asking for, what it is likely to signal, and which readings the wording supports. It cannot tell you what the person writing it privately meant or felt. When a message is genuinely ambiguous, the honest move is to ask them, and Subtext will help you write that question.

Yes, and with anything else you can copy from or share to: Slack, Gmail, Signal, Discord, a work ticket. Subtext is not a keyboard you type inside. You share the thread to it, paste the draft, or screenshot the conversation, and you copy the version you pick back into whichever app you were in.

No, and that is deliberate. Subtext is an app, not a keyboard, so it never sits between you and what you type and it cannot see anything you write anywhere else. It only ever reads what you hand it: the draft you paste, the screenshot you share, the voice note you record.

Yes. Subtext comes in 17+ languages, including German, Spanish, French and Turkish, and it answers in the language you write in.

No. The reading and the rewriting happen on our servers, so Subtext needs a connection. A slow one is usually fine for text you type or paste, because that request is small. A screenshot or a voice note has to upload first, so those are the parts that will feel it on a weak signal.

Every account has a daily limit, there to stop automated abuse rather than to ration you. Rewriting and rechecking messages all day does not come near it. The app warns you when you are close and tells you when the limit resets, 24 hours after the window started.

Subtext gives you a few free analyses to start, then a paid subscription with weekly, monthly and yearly plans, billed through the App Store or Google Play on your phone, or through Stripe if you subscribe on the web. The exact price is always shown in your own currency before you subscribe. Nothing is custom and there is no quote to request. We run free trials from time to time, and if one is on you will see it before you subscribe. A trial rolls into a paid plan unless you cancel at least 24 hours before it ends, and you can cancel wherever you subscribed whenever you like.

Yes. Weekly, monthly and yearly are the same subscription at different lengths, so you can move between them without cancelling and starting again. You do it where you subscribed: on iPhone in Settings under Subscriptions, on Android in Google Play under Payments and subscriptions, and on the web through Stripe. The store works out the timing and what you owe.

Where you subscribed rather than in Subtext. On your phone, Apple and Google take the payment, so they hold the subscription and we cannot cancel it for you. On iPhone: Settings, your name, Subscriptions, Subtext, Cancel Subscription. On Android: Google Play, your profile icon, Payments and subscriptions, Subscriptions, Subtext, Cancel subscription. The steps to cancel an Android subscription are on the legal page, including the notice a free trial needs. If you subscribed on the web, your payment runs through Stripe. Cancel from the Stripe billing page linked in your receipt email, or write to hi@subtext.it and we will send you the link.

On your phone you do not have to make one, because Subtext sets up a guest account the first time you open it. Sign in with Apple, Google or your email when you want it on more than one device, or want your drafts back after you switch phones. In the browser, you sign in before you start.

They go to the AI providers that read and write them, and to our servers so you can come back to them later. When Subtext looks something up on the web, the search terms drawn from your request also go to a search provider; you can turn that off with Allow Web Search in settings. What you send is never used to train an AI model, and it is encrypted on the way. Conversations delete themselves five days after you last used one, or ninety days if you pin it, and they follow you from your phone to the web in the meantime. Delete one yourself and it is gone straight away, attachments included. The privacy policy names every provider we use and covers the rest.

When Subtext asks what could feel better, those answers come to the team rather than to the store, and Settings has Contact Support and a Help Center. You can also write to hi@subtext.it about anything. A draft that did not sound like you is the most useful thing you can send us, because a real example says more than a description of one.
