How it works
- 1
Describe what happened
The situation in your own words — and paste their actual message if you have one. More context sharpens the read.
- 2
Get the pattern, named plainly
What's driving their behavior, what your next planned move would reinforce, and what this is really about.
- 3
Send one of the 3 messages
One that goes direct, one that holds a boundary, one that creates space. Written to be sent, not admired.
Common questions
What is the decode tool?
The decode tool reads a specific relationship situation you describe — a confusing message, mixed signals, a sudden pullback — and returns a structured analysis: what pattern is driving the other person's behavior, the one move likely to make it worse, three concrete messages you could actually send, and a one-sentence verdict on what the situation is really about.
How is this different from asking a friend or ChatGPT?
Friends reassure and generic chatbots hedge. The decode is built on attachment theory with one job: name the pattern plainly. It does not soften the read, it does not tell you what you want to hear, and it ends with messages you can send verbatim — not advice to communicate openly.
What do I get for $6.99?
One full decode: the pattern dynamic behind the situation, the specific action to avoid right now, three ready-to-send replies calibrated to going direct, holding a boundary, or creating space, and a verdict sentence. It appears on screen in about a minute and is also emailed to you with a permanent link.
Is this therapy or clinical advice?
No. The decode is pattern reading for self-reflection, built from attachment theory and relationship-psychology research. It is not a diagnosis, not therapy, and not a substitute for either. If a situation involves your safety, contact local support services rather than any online tool.
