Never wonder what to say back

Say the right thing.
First time.

SayThis reads the message you are stuck on and writes the reply — in the tone you choose, in the app you are already in.

Paste it, screenshot it, or use the keyboard without leaving the conversation. Pick how you want to sound. You read it and you send it — SayThis never sends anything itself.

Texts, DMs, email, group chats. Auto or sixteen tones, three lengths, any language.

How it works

From their message to your reply, without leaving the thread.

  1. 1Step one

    The message you’ve reread four times.

    Everybody has one. It has been sitting there twenty minutes, and every version you draft is either too much or too little.

    SSarah M.

    can we talk about what you said at dinner

    of course. what’s up?

    it felt like you were taking their side in front of everyone

    I don’t really know what to do with that

    Take a screenshot

    So SayThis can read the conversation

    or
    Import latest screenshot
    More
  2. 2Step two

    One screenshot.

    A keyboard genuinely cannot read your conversation — so SayThis does not pretend to. Take the screenshot everyone already knows how to take, and it reads the thread from that, on your phone.

    Reading what you gave me…

  3. 3Step three

    You choose how it sounds.

    Not a blank prompt box. Auto picks the voice the message needs, or you take it yourself from sixteen — Calm, Firm, Warm, Direct — plus how long you want it. Then it writes one reply.

    You’re right that it landed badly, and I’m sorry — I wasn’t trying to take a side. Can we talk about it properly tonight?

  4. 4Step four

    Your reply. You send it.

    Too long? Shorter. Not quite it? Another. Wrong voice? Change the tone. SayThis drafts and puts it in the box — the send button is still yours, and always will be.

The hard ones

The message, and what to say back.

Four messages nobody enjoys answering. Each reply is written in the tone named beside it — because choosing the tone is the part that changes the answer.

What they sent you

had such a nice time on saturday! when are you free next?

Auto

What SayThis writes

I had a really nice time too — thank you for Saturday. I don’t think I’m feeling it romantically though, and I’d rather say that than go quiet on you.

SayThis puts the draft in your message box. Sending it is still your call.

More of them, by situation: dating, work, difficult conversations, friends and family, everyday texting.

The keyboard

It goes wherever the conversation goes.

SayThis is not another app to open. It is a keyboard, so it is already there — in the thread, in the inbox, in whatever they messaged you on.

  • Messages and WhatsAppThe text you have reread four times
  • Instagram and DMsThe message you left on read by accident
  • EmailThe thread that needs a register texts do not have
  • Notes and anywhere elseAnywhere with a text field

And once it has drafted, one tap reshapes it

  • Another
  • Shorter
  • Longer

Tone control

One message.
Any tone you want.

SayThis picks the tone by default. Sixteen more if you want to steer it — one at a time, changed on any single reply without starting again.

They said

so sorry, something came up and I can't make tonight. rain check?

The third cancellation in a row. Every tone below answers it — and they are not the same answer.

Totally fine, don't worry about it. Hope everything's alright — and yes to the rain check, just say when you're back on your feet.

SayThis picks the tone this conversation needs.

The whole thing

Adjust it in one tap.

What we will not do

Their messages are not ours to keep.

Most of what a reply assistant reads was written by somebody else, and they never agreed to any of it. So none of these is a setting you have to find — each is built into how SayThis works, not just promised here.

  • It never sends anything

    SayThis writes the draft and puts it in your message box. Every send is a tap you make.

  • Nothing is kept

    No stored conversations, no stored screenshots, and no setting that turns storing on. Asking for a shorter version re-sends from your phone, because there is no copy here.

  • Nothing is read without a tap

    The keyboard never reads while you type. It reads when you ask it to, for the reply you asked for.

  • Most screenshots never leave your phone

    SayThis reads them on the device and sends the text. An image that does go up is deleted the moment it has been read.

  • Password fields are refused

    The reply panel does not appear in secure or numeric fields — refused before anything renders.

  • Analytics never record what was said

    Events carry counts and durations. A database constraint rejects anything shaped like a message.

FAQ

Questions? Answered.

What is SayThis?

An AI reply assistant for any message. Give it what someone sent you — paste it, screenshot it, or use the SayThis keyboard without leaving the app — choose how you want to sound, and it writes the reply. You read it and you send it.

What kinds of messages is it for?

The ones you reread four times before answering. A friend cancelling again, a message from a date you do not want a second one with, a manager adding work on a Friday, a stranger offering half on a marketplace listing, a family group chat you cannot afford to say yes to. It works on texts, DMs, email and group chats.

Why does it need a screenshot?

Because a phone keyboard genuinely cannot read your conversation. On iOS the system returns zero characters of the thread to a keyboard extension, and on Android a messaging thread lives in a list the keyboard cannot see. Rather than pretend otherwise, SayThis reads the screenshot you take — one gesture you already know, and it captures the whole thread. It reads it on the phone, so for most screenshots no image is uploaded at all. You can also paste the message or type the point you want to make.

Does it send messages for me?

No. It never sends a message on your behalf, and it never will. SayThis writes the draft and puts it in your message box; reading it and pressing send is always yours.

How many tones are there?

Seventeen, and the one that matters most is Auto — the default, which reads the message and picks the voice it needs. The other sixteen are there to overrule it: Natural, Friendly, Confident, Professional and Casual are the ones most people reach for, and behind More Styles there are Funny, Flirty, Empathetic, Firm, Apologetic, Persuasive, Calm, Supportive, Direct, Warm and Enthusiastic. One at a time — tapping a tone selects it and drops whatever was there.

Can I make a reply shorter, or ask for a different one?

Yes, without going back a screen. Shorter keeps the point and loses the words. Longer adds the context the conversation already supports. Another writes a genuinely different reply rather than the same one reworded. Change tone rewrites what it says in a different voice.

Does it work in other languages?

Yes. SayThis replies in whatever language the conversation is in — it works that out from their messages rather than translating through English — and you can pin a language in Settings if you would rather always answer in one.

What about group chats?

It reads them properly: who said what, by name where the app shows a name, so a reply meant for Priya does not answer Marcus. It only uses names that actually appear in the conversation.

Can it tell me what to say when I already know the point?

Yes — that is what the optional second field is for. Tell SayThis the point you want to get across, in your own words, and it writes the message that lands it. It never quotes your note back.

What happens to my messages?

They are not kept, and no setting keeps them. Most screenshots are never uploaded in the first place — your phone reads them and sends the text. A conversation is used to write the reply and then dropped; an image that does go up is deleted the moment it has been read. Asking for a shorter or different version sends the conversation again from your phone, because there is no copy of it on our side to reuse. Analytics record that a reply happened, never what it said.

The messages are not mine. Is that a problem?

It is the thing to think about before you paste, and SayThis says so before it reads anything. What you hand it is usually somebody else’s writing, and they have not agreed to any of this — a screenshot of a group chat sends everything visible in it, including everyone else in the thread. Nothing is read in the background and nothing is read while you type.

Is SayThis available on iPhone and Android?

On Android, yes — SayThis is on Google Play, as an app with an input method. The iPhone version, an app with a keyboard extension, is coming to the App Store and works the same way.

Stop drafting it in your head.
Just say it.

The right reply, in the tone you choose, in the app you are already in — and a send button that stays yours.
