Do I need a Mac?
No. The Mac app gives you continuous monitoring of one
iMessage thread, but if you don't have a Mac, or you
want to read a conversation that doesn't live in
iMessage, you can upload screenshots from the iOS app
and get the same analysis.
What messaging apps does the screenshot mode support?
All of them. If you can screenshot it, Qansei can read
it: iMessage, WhatsApp, Instagram, Hinge, Bumble,
Tinder, Signal, Discord, Slack, Telegram, Snapchat,
Facebook Messenger. The model reads the screenshot
directly. There's no plugin or integration to set up.
Is it actually private?
Yes. Messages and screenshots are sent transiently for
analysis and immediately discarded. They are never
written to a database. The only things stored on our
servers are your account, your settings, and the
alerts the AI produced, never the underlying message
content.
Will my partner know?
Qansei is read-only. It never sends, edits, or reacts
to anything as you. From the other side of the
conversation, nothing changes. Whether you tell your
partner is up to you. Most people who use it
eventually do.
Does it replace actually paying attention?
No. It's a backup, not a substitute. Think of it as a
smoke detector for emotional moments. It doesn't put
out the fire, it just makes sure you're awake when
there is one.
Can I monitor more than one conversation?
Live monitoring on the Mac is one thread per account
right now. Screenshot uploads have no limit. Use
them for any conversation you want a read on.
What model is doing the reading?
Anthropic's Claude. We use a fast, cost-efficient
model so live monitoring stays affordable, and we
send the smallest amount of context required to make
a useful call.
