How it works

  1. Say what they should know

    How long you've been seeing each other and why it isn't right for you.

  2. Choose what to share

    No reason, a brief one or an honest one. Say if you're open to friendship, need space or want no contact.

  3. Read it before sending

    Make it kinder or clearer, or set a firmer boundary, then copy it.

Your message

Hey Alex, I've really enjoyed the last three months, and I've been thinking a lot about us. I don't feel this is right for me, and I'd rather tell you honestly than let it drift. I need some space for now. I'm sorry, and I wish you well.

Then make it yours

  • Kinder
  • Clearer
  • Shorter
  • Firmer boundary
  • Less formal
  • Try again

Questions, answered

Is it free?

Yes. The free plan gives you AI help every day, and Pro gives you about 10,000 AI actions a month. You sign in with Google or a code we email you, so your work follows you to every device.

Will it sound like AI?

It's honest and kind without stock breakup lines, and it won't hint at a future you didn't choose. It only gives the reason you decide to share.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. Install the Preener keyboard for Android and open Breakup message from the keyboard in any app. Your account also works in Chrome and on the web.
