Use Cases

Built for the messages that stay in your head

The ones you read several times, trying to figure out why they felt off.

💔

Ex's Texts

Breakups, post-breakup contact, or guilt trips that feel like they are just "checking in." Figure out what is actually being said.

💼

Boss Emails

"Per my last email" or "I thought this was handled." Passive aggression, even in professional language, is still passive aggression.

Try an example →

👨‍👩‍👧

Family Messages

Guilt-tripping or martyrdom that looks like concern. These are the hardest messages to name because you love the person who sent them.

💬

Any Message

Friends, coworkers, landlords, or online arguments. If a message has left you feeling confused or bad, then it is worth checking.

The Model

What RedFlagger analyzes

We analyze eight distinct psychological patterns instead of just giving a single toxicity score. This is because manipulation is usually layered.

Passive Aggression

Indirect hostility, sarcasm, and sulking disguised as neutral communication.

"Fine. Whatever you think is best."

Guilt Tripping

Inducing guilt or obligation through martyrdom and sacrifice language.

"After everything I've done for you..."

Gaslighting

Denying reality or making you doubt your own perception of events.

"That never happened. You're misremembering."

Victimhood

Framing themselves as helpless to gain sympathy and avoid accountability.

"I guess nobody ever considers my feelings."

Deflection

Avoiding accountability by shifting blame or changing the subject.

"Well, what about what YOU did last week?"

Narcissism

Excessive self-focus, entitlement, and lack of empathy in communication.

"I don't see why this is even a conversation."

Love Bombing

Overwhelming flattery or affection used as a manipulation tool.

"You're literally the only person who gets me."

Silent Threat

Implied consequences and veiled warnings delivered without direct accusation.

"Just remember that I've been very patient."

Why people use RedFlagger

It is hard to put a name on manipulation when you are reading a message in the moment. A single passive-aggressive text can leave you feeling anxious for hours, even if you can't quite explain why. A guilt-tripping email from a family member can make you feel responsible for something you didn't do, and the language is often engineered to do exactly that.

We built RedFlagger to help with those specific situations. Paste any message here and you will receive an objective breakdown across eight dimensions of psychological manipulation. These include passive aggression, guilt-tripping, gaslighting, victimhood framing, deflection, narcissism, love bombing, and silent threats. Every dimension is scored independently, and every sentence is annotated to show exactly which phrases triggered which patterns.

The healthy rewrite feature takes things a step further. It shows you what the same message could have said if the sender were direct, honest, and respectful. This can help you understand what was wrong with the original message and can even help improve your own communication.

The tool works for all kinds of messages, including those from relationships, the workplace, family conflicts, and public figures. It is free, instant, and does not require an account. We never store or share your messages.
