The App
Reading people is a skill, and skills answer to practice. This is where the practice happens: scenarios you play, drills against a clock, an AI that argues back, and a record that says whether any of it is working.

What it costs
Not two versions of the same room. The paid rung buys everything the free one does not have, training and Kanika both, and there is nothing else to add to it.

Train
Practice reads people faster than theory ever will. Every surface here is a different way of putting you in the room before you feel ready.
Branching scenarios you play a line at a time. Every choice scores, optimal reads build a streak, and the debrief tells you what the other person was actually doing. Free accounts play the opening levels of their main line; the nine themed tracks and the rest of the catalog are paid. Gauntlet mode is paid too: it hides the options, takes your own words instead, puts a 30 second clock on every turn and pays 50% more XP.
Ten reads against the clock, full screen, no chrome. Built for the two minutes you have rather than the hour you do not.
One behavioural tell a day, scored, with a streak that breaks if you skip. Your accuracy accumulates into an Instinct Hex across six axes, with the full history kept.
Multi-chapter arcs rather than single scenes. The same engine as the Simulator, over a longer story with consequences that carry between chapters.
Freeform sparring with an AI opponent that plays a real personality rather than a script. Say what you would actually say and find out what it costs you. One session a day.
Paste a real message and get the read: what the tactic is, what it is aimed at, and what a reply that does not concede would look like. A free, no-signup version lives at /receipts.
Measure
The claim this app makes is measured progress, so the measuring is a first-class surface rather than a stat buried in a settings page.
Your reads, measured. Every scenario, drill, Tell and Lab session adds to one record, so improvement is a number rather than a feeling.
Taken once when you arrive, then monthly. The fixed point everything else is measured against.
Rank, standing, streaks and badges in one place, plus the Mark panel once you are training.
Standing and Simulator XP behind one toggle. Earned in the open, nobody is placed there.
Test yourself
Calibrated against published clinical norms, free to take, and written by an author who holds the diagnosis half of them are built to detect. They are instruments, not diagnoses.
20 scenarios across six personality types. The original suite quiz; most users start here.

The hero product
All the benefits of psychopathy, and none of the liabilities. For those committed to ruthless transformation.
How the signing works
Written for your track, on a 12 week cycle, so a full quarter passes before anything repeats. Intensity ramps in four-week waves inside it.
Private by default. A separate optional box posts a short note to the feed under your name or anonymously, if you want the room to see it.
Kept weeks are recorded. Missed weeks are scarred, and the scar is permanent. Break the pact and it is sealed read-only; sign again and the new pact stands beside the old scars.
The long form
A structured video program that pairs each week's lessons with assigned reading from the book, plus an AI layer: a personal Read from a four-question intake, weekly Thresholds, and a journal that answers back.
All 17 chapters of the Sociopathic Dating Bible are assigned across the twelve weeks, exactly once. An advanced six-week course re-reads the same chapters at depth and is gated on finishing week 12, so nothing in it is ever somebody's first exposure to the material. Included with the Blood Pact and above.
From Kanika
The training rung teaches the skills. This rung is the room Kanika is actually in.
Kanika's posts, a daily psychology card and a discussion prompt every morning. Members comment and react.
One question every 24 hours, anonymous if you want it to be. Upvote what other members asked. You get an email and a notification when she answers.
Her voice, members only. Usually the answer to a question somebody in the room asked.
Kanika on camera, inside the app, not on a platform that decides what she is allowed to say.
Everything you can buy
Two subscriptions and three one-time purchases. Nothing else in the app costs money, and nothing is priced per action.
$29/month

Getting in
The app runs in the browser and installs to your home screen. That is the whole install process.
Open the site on your phone and add it to your home screen. It opens full screen, keeps you signed in, and works like any other icon on the device.
When your question gets answered, when a voice note lands, when your streak is about to break, and when your pact week opens. Each category is a separate switch. On iPhone this needs the home screen install and iOS 16.4 or later.
Questions
It is a training app for reading and handling people. You practise on branching scenarios, timed drills and a freeform AI sparring room, you paste real messages in for analysis, you take calibrated psychology assessments, and the app measures whether your reads are actually getting better. The paid tier adds a weekly commitment, the Blood Pact, that keeps a permanent record of every week you kept and every week you missed.
Yes, to start. A free account plays the opening levels of its main line in the Simulator, runs the Speed Drill and the Daily Tell every day, takes all eight quizzes, and keeps a rank, streaks, badges and a place on the leaderboards, with Standing rising as far as Analyst. The rest of the scenario catalog, the nine themed tracks, Gauntlet mode, the Lab, Receipts, the Mark and the 12 week program are paid. The Consilium is $29 a month for all of that, the Blood Pact included, plus Kanika herself.
A paid weekly commitment. You pick a track, tick a four-line oath, write three goals in your own words, draw your signature, and from then on you get one challenge a week. Keep it and it is on your record forever. Miss it and you take a permanent scar. Challenges run on a 12 week cycle, so a full quarter passes before anything repeats. It comes with the Consilium, at no extra cost and with nothing separate to buy.
They are rungs, not alternatives. The Pact buys the training: every scenario, the Lab, Receipts, the Mark, the 12 week program and the weekly challenge. The Consilium buys everything the Pact does plus Kanika herself: her feed, Ask Kanika, voice notes, videos and the member book price. The Consilium includes the Pact, so nobody needs both.
Eight. The Dark Mirror across six axes, the Sociopath Test (LSRP-26), the Narcissist Test (NPI-40), the Covert Narcissist Test (HSNS), the Dark Triad Test (SD3), the BPD screen (MSI-BPD), the partner-detection quiz from the book, and the Daughter Pattern Assessment. All are free to take and calibrated against published clinical norms. None of them diagnose anybody.
No. The app runs in a browser and installs to your home screen as a progressive web app, so there is no app store and no download. Once installed it can send notifications: when Kanika answers your question, when a new voice note lands, when your streak is at risk, and when your pact week opens. On iPhone, notifications need the app added to the home screen and iOS 16.4 or later.
No. Kanika is not a licensed therapist and nothing in the app treats a mental health condition. The quizzes are calibrated instruments, not diagnoses, and the training is skills practice. If something you are dealing with needs clinical help, get clinical help.
Yes, at any time, from inside the app. Cancelling the Pact breaks it: your record is sealed and kept read-only, and if you sign again it starts as a new pact numbered beside the old scars rather than erasing them. There is a 7-day money-back guarantee on both rungs.
Start where it is free
Take a quiz, play a scenario, run a drill, and see whether any of it lands before you pay for a thing. Everything you do on the free tier carries over to whichever rung you take.
