Description
Cray is a comprehensive dating and relationship safety application that empowers users to proactively identify potential risks and positive indicators in their social interactions. Whether evaluating a new date, a prospective roommate, or a friend, Cray transforms subjective gut feelings into objective, research-backed scores. The platform's core functionality revolves around three primary assessments: CrayScore, which identifies 74 red flags to measure overall relationship risk; SchemerScore, designed to detect behaviors associated with ulterior motives like money, sex, or control; and the new BaeScore, which measures 36 green flags across six categories to assess relationship health and growth.

The app operates on a simple three-step process: users honestly answer questions about observed behaviors, receive a detailed score, and then act with clarity based on the insights provided. Cray emphasizes pattern recognition over isolated events, utilizing weighted scoring and research-backed categories to provide a nuanced understanding of behavioral signals. This approach helps users reflect on interactions rather than relying on gossip or single-moment verdicts.
Beyond its core assessments, Cray offers several optional, pay-per-use scan tools for deeper analysis. These include VibeCheck, which provides an AI-generated narrative summary of assessment results; PhotoScan, which evaluates photos and screenshots against red flag patterns; and ConvoScan, which analyzes up to five screenshots of text conversations for communication-based red flags. Additionally, CatfishCheck runs phone numbers against fraud and VoIP databases, while OffenderCheck searches state sex offender registries, providing critical safety information before in-person meetings.
Cray's pricing model is designed for accessibility, with its core safety toolkit—CrayScore, SchemerScore, and BaeScore—available for free forever, without subscriptions or limited trials. Premium tools are offered as small, one-time purchases to cover external data and analysis costs. The platform also extends its safety initiatives to institutions, offering licensing programs for campuses, including the free Campus Digital Safety Playbook, and Cray Protected kits for venues like bars and restaurants, which include drink covers and QR coasters to enhance patron safety.
Committed to user privacy, Cray ensures that all user information is kept private, never shared, and searches are confidential, with no notifications sent to the person being checked. The app is available on iOS, Android, and web browsers, continuously updated with new features and insights. Cray also provides educational content through its Red Flag Academy, which includes a glossary of dating safety terms, an animated comedy series, and a music album, all aimed at teaching users to recognize manipulation tactics and red flags early.
