Long Time No Text
Haven't replied to a friend in months? Paste what you know about them and get a short, warm text that skips the guilt trip and is easy to answer.
- You paste
- Paste the last message. Copy their last message and when it was sent. If it was a while ago, say roughly how long.
- You get
- If she doesn't answer. One gentle follow-up for two weeks later, and a note on when to let it rest.
- When to use it
- Use it when a friend's message has been unanswered for weeks or months, and every time you open the chat the reply you'd need feels longer and more awkward.
- When to skip it
- It only knows what you tell it about the friend, so it can't guess what happened in their life. It won't fix a real fight or a betrayal with one text. For that it suggests asking to talk, and it can't make anyone write back.
