    How to use the "Should I send this text" checklist

    Check any statement that's currently true, and watch the verdict update live. Your actual message is never read by this tool — you're only describing your situation, and nothing is saved or sent anywhere.

    1. Check what applies

    Be honest about the time, your mood, and how many times you've reread it.

    2. Watch the meter move

    The verdict and score update instantly as you check and uncheck boxes.

    3. Clear and repeat

    Select "Clear all" to reset before checking a different message.

    Understanding the verdict

    Each checked item adds one point to your total. A low score suggests things are probably fine; a higher score suggests waiting, drafting instead of sending, or simply putting the phone down until morning. It's a playful nudge, not a rule.

    Low score

    Few or no warning signs checked usually means it's safe to send.

    Middle score

    A handful of warning signs is a good moment to pause and reread with fresh eyes.

    High score

    Several warning signs at once is the classic setup for a text you'll wish you could unsend.

    Is this actual advice?

    Treat it as a lighthearted second opinion, not professional advice — but the 2am-paragraph energy is real.

    Do you save or see the text I'm thinking of sending?

    No. This tool never sees your actual message. You only check boxes describing your situation, and nothing is saved or sent anywhere.

    How is the verdict decided?

    Each checked warning sign adds a point. Your total is compared against a few thresholds to produce a playful verdict.

    What if I check zero boxes?

    Then you're probably in the clear — the tool will tell you to go ahead and send it.
