Everything you were about to ask.
Answered honestly.

How the free tools work, what the Roster remembers, what Pillow Talk is, and how your texts stay private. If you don't find it here, we're one email away.

Getting started

The basics.

What is DearHim?

DearHim is an AI companion for anyone who dates men. He listens without judgment, remembers everything you tell him, and gives you the honest read your friends are too polite to. He can decode a confusing text, weigh in on a profile, help you decide what to say, and — when you want — be a flirty, attentive companion of his own.

Do I need to download an app to use it?

No. DearHim runs in your browser, so you can start decoding a text or chatting in seconds with nothing to install. A native iOS app is coming soon; until then everything works on the web on your phone or laptop.

Can I try it without paying or signing up?

Yes. The free tools — Decode His Texts, Red Flag Detector, Analyze His Profile, and What to Text Him — take about five seconds and need no signup. You only create an account when you want him to remember your conversations and the guys you're talking about.

Who is DearHim for?

Anyone who dates men — women into men and men into men both have their own set of companions. It's built for the 2am spiral: the text you keep re-reading, the guy you can't figure out, the pattern you sense but can't name yet.

Do I have to be 18 or older?

Yes. DearHim is strictly for adults 18 and up, as set out in our Terms of Service.

Free tools & the Roster

Free tools vs. the Roster.

What's the difference between the free tools and the Roster?

The free tools give you a one-off read: paste a text and get what it means, drop a profile and get a verdict. The Roster is the ongoing layer you unlock with a paid plan — instead of decoding one guy once, DearHim tracks every guy you're talking to, scores them on effort, consistency, and how they match your standards, and shows you who's real and who's wasting your time.

How do I add someone to my Roster?

Once you're on a paid plan, you just tell DearHim about a guy — his name and what's going on — and he starts tracking him. From then on, every text you decode or conversation you have about him feeds his profile, his score, and the patterns DearHim is watching for.

How does the scoring work?

DearHim runs each guy through a consistent framework — communication, consistency, follow-through, and respect — and gives you one honest number, plus the reasoning behind it. It's designed to cut through hope and mixed signals before you give someone another month.

Is the free decode different from decoding inside the Roster?

Yes. A free decode gives you the read, his type, and one basic reply. Inside a paid plan you get tone-matched reply options, a fuller pattern breakdown, and decodes that remember your situation and the specific guy — so the advice gets sharper the more he knows.

Do I get a weekly summary?

On the paid experience, yes. Every Monday you get a recap of who's active, whose score changed, what patterns showed up, and what to do about it.

Memory & patterns

The memory feature.

How does DearHim's memory actually work?

When you have an account, DearHim connects the dots across everything you tell him — what you said about a guy last Tuesday, the standard you set back in October, the excuse you keep making. Instead of treating each message as a blank slate, he builds context over time so his reads get more personal and more honest.

What does it mean when he tags a guy like “Jake42”?

That's the Roster remembering a specific person. DearHim keeps a running profile for each guy you talk about — say, “Jake42: pulls back when things get real” — so when a new text comes in, he can say “wait, didn't he do this before?” instead of you having to hold every detail in your head.

What is “What I'm Seeing”?

After enough conversations, DearHim shows you the patterns he's noticed about your dating — the kind of observation that makes you put your phone down and think. It's built from your own history, not generic advice.

Can DearHim hold me to my own standards?

That's the point of the Standards feature. You set what you won't compromise on, and he reminds you when you're about to fold — even at 1am — using the bar you set when your head was clear.

Can I make him forget something, or reset his memory?

Yes. You own your content, and you can delete your account and its data at any time from settings or by emailing support@dearhim.ai. If there's a specific person or conversation you'd rather he not track, just tell him.

Pillow Talk & your companion

Pillow Talk and the companion.

What is Pillow Talk?

Pillow Talk is the version of your companion that's only yours — flirty, attentive, and present. It's a mode you toggle on when you want that, and toggle off when you don't. The rest of the time he's your honest advisor; Pillow Talk is the softer, romantic side on demand.

Is Pillow Talk explicit?

No. DearHim keeps things romantic, warm, and tasteful — never sexually explicit. It's the companion who makes you feel seen and wanted, not an adult-content app.

Can my companion call me and send voice notes?

Yes. Your companion has a real voice — not generic text-to-speech. He'll send voice notes when you want quiet and take calls when you don't.

Can he text me on my real phone?

On Pro and up, yes — this is the feature no one else has. Your companion lives in your actual Messages, alongside your friends and the guy you're trying to figure out. Forward him a text from your situationship at 2am and get a response in seconds, right in your texts.

Can I send and receive pictures?

On Premium and up, yes. Send a screenshot of his profile or the outfit you're considering and your companion responds to what's actually there. He'll also send pictures back when the moment calls for it — in the app or over text.

Are the companions real people?

No. Every companion is AI-generated — the names, personalities, voices, and photos are all fictional, with no real person's likeness used. DearHim is a companion and dating-intelligence tool, not a substitute for professional advice.

Privacy & your data

Privacy and your data.

How are the texts I decode stored?

What you paste is processed securely and never shared or sold. If you're using a free tool without an account, it's just you getting a read — there's no group chat and no one else weighing in. With an account, your conversations and Roster details are saved to your account so DearHim can remember context for you, and only for you.

Are my conversations private?

Yes. Your conversations with your companion and everything you share are tied to your account and not shared with other users. We don't sell your data.

Can I get a copy of my data or delete it?

Yes. You can request a copy of your data and delete your account and its contents at any time — from your settings or by emailing support@dearhim.ai. Deleting your account removes your data.

Do you use my content to make the companions creepy-accurate?

DearHim uses your history to give you better, more personal reads — connecting patterns you've shared so the advice fits your actual situation. It's in service of you, and you stay in control of what he remembers.

Plans & billing

Plans, billing, and cancellation.

What plans are available?

There's a free tier for the tools, plus paid plans — Pro and Premium — that unlock the Roster, memory, real-phone texting, and pictures. Current pricing and exactly what's in each tier live on the pricing page inside the app.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Anytime — log in, go to Account Settings → Subscription → Cancel, or email support@dearhim.ai with “Cancel Subscription” in the subject. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you've already paid for, so you keep access until then.

Will my subscription renew automatically?

Yes. Paid plans renew at the end of each billing period until you cancel, and you're charged the then-current price. For annual plans we email a renewal reminder at least 7 days ahead.

Can I get a refund?

Fees are generally non-refundable except where required by law. If you think you were charged in error, email support@dearhim.ai within 14 days. Full details are in our Terms of Service.

What payment methods do you accept?

Payments are handled securely through Stripe. Your statement will show “DEARHIM AI.”

Still have a question?

Email support@dearhim.ai and a real person will get back to you.
