Description
Some chats are hard to answer — without snapping, without going silent, without losing a night to it. Ernest drafts that reply for you. Take a screenshot of the conversation, and Ernest reads what the other person actually said and gives you a ready draft in four different tones. Tap to copy. You hit send.
WHY ERNEST - Stop hunting for the right words. Ernest picks the tone with you. - A 5-second exit from "how do I even say this." You stay in control of what gets sent — Ernest never messages on your behalf. - Don't reply in the same flavor every time. Calm & Clear, Warm & Human, Firm Boundary, Brutal — match it to the moment.
HOW IT WORKS 1. Take a screenshot in WhatsApp, iMessage, Instagram DMs, Telegram — anything. 2. Open Ernest. Your latest screenshot is already waiting. Or use the share sheet — tap Share → Ernest from any chat app. 3. Preview the parsed conversation, add a note if you want. 4. Tap "Generate replies" and your preferred-tone draft appears first. The other three tones are one tap away.
FEATURES - Four ready-made tones: Calm & Clear, Warm & Human (acknowledges feelings first), Firm Boundary (kind but not negotiable), and Brutal (no filter) - Pick reply length: short, medium, or long - Stitch multiple screenshots into one conversation for long threads - Last 10 conversations one tap away — swipe to delete or clear all - Native Share Extension: share a chat from WhatsApp, iMessage, or Photos directly to Ernest - Light and dark themes auto-follow your system - No account, no signup, no password
PRIVACY - Your screenshots NEVER leave your phone. Text recognition (OCR) runs entirely on-device. - Before any reply is generated, emails, phone numbers, IBANs, credit cards, national IDs, URLs, ZIP / postal codes and street addresses (English and Turkish) are automatically masked. Only "[masked]" tokens reach the model. - We don't store the transcript on the server — the request is dropped from logs after the reply is generated. - No analytics, no tracking SDKs, no ad trackers. Period.
ERNEST IS FOR YOU IF - You'd regret what you'd type right now if you typed it raw. - You've redrafted the same reply six times. - You struggle with setting boundaries (the Firm Boundary tone is built for exactly this). - You want to land the right tone in a language that isn't your first.
ERNEST IS NOT FOR - Pretending to be someone else. Ernest gives you a draft; sending is your call. - Manipulating the other person. Even Brutal is built on honesty.
