From 感性: sensitivity, intuitive feeling

The thing she said at 11pm deserved more than “k goodnight.”

Qansei reads the subtext of your messages and pings you when something matters. A perceptive second pair of eyes that never gets tired at 11pm.

Free on the App Store. Mac app ships as a signed .dmg.

The problem

The signals are there.
You're just tired.

You're not a bad partner. You're a person with a job, a group chat, and a brain that runs out of nuance somewhere around 10pm. The signals don't stop arriving when you stop being able to read them. They pile up in the spaces between "how was your day" and "sleep tight."

Qansei is a second pair of eyes that doesn't get tired, doesn't get defensive, and doesn't have to live inside your own head to notice what's happening.

Two ways to use it

Live monitoring, or one-off uploads.

Use the Mac app for the conversation that matters most. Use screenshot uploads for everything else: the new dating-app match, the family thread, the ambiguous text from a coworker.

Mode 01

Live monitoring on Mac

A small menu bar app sits on your Mac and watches a single iMessage thread you choose. When new messages come in, it analyzes them in the background and pings your phone if something deserves your attention.

  • Continuous, hands-off
  • Reads directly from your local iMessage database
  • Push alerts to your phone with a suggested reply
  • Late-night threshold: lower bar after 10pm
Mode 02

Upload a screenshot

No Mac required. Snap a screenshot of any conversation, whether iMessage, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, Hinge, Signal, or Discord, and upload it from the iOS app. You'll get the same emotional read in seconds.

  • Works with any messaging app
  • Drop in one screenshot or a whole thread
  • Get a read on tone, subtext, and what to say back
  • Great for the conversations you don't live inside
What it catches

The stuff you'd see if you weren't already three tabs deep.

Quiet distress

The "I'm fine" that isn't. The shorter-than-usual reply. The topic she stopped bringing up.

Accidental dismissiveness

When your "haha yeah" lands as a wall instead of a bridge. When your tired-brain answer reads as uninterested.

Deferred presence

When you keep saying "tomorrow" to a moment that actually wanted you tonight.

Escalation cues

When the right move stops being a text and starts being a phone call. Or a doorbell.

Tone drift

When the temperature of the conversation has slowly changed and neither of you has named it.

Repair openings

The moments where one good sentence would close a loop that's been open for days.

Privacy

Your messages don't live on our servers.

This product only works if you trust it. So we built it the way you'd want a friend to handle the same information. Read it, think about it, then forget the words and remember only what mattered.

  • Nothing is stored. Messages and screenshots are sent for the moment of analysis and discarded immediately. They're never written to a database.
  • One conversation, by your choice. The Mac app only watches the thread you explicitly pick. It can't see anything else.
  • Read-only. The Mac app never sends messages as you, never modifies anything, never touches a thread you didn't select.
  • You hold the off switch. Pause, unpause, or wipe your alert history any time from the iOS app.

FAQ

The honest questions.

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.
