About

Cray is a digital student safety platform built on a simple truth: vibes lie, patterns don't. Available on iOS, Android, and the web, Cray helps people objectively evaluate the quality and authenticity of the people they meet — before misplaced trust becomes a painful lesson. While Cray began as a dating safety tool, it now supports relationships of all kinds: romantic partners, roommates, friends, and even marketplace or loose social connections. Instead of relying on gut feelings, users answer structured questions about someone's actual behavior and get a clear, evidence-based picture of who they're really dealing with. At the core of the platform are Cray's proprietary scoring assessments. CrayScore™ evaluates concerning behavioral patterns across 18 categories — from control and coercion to emotional stability and legal history — while SchemerScore™ zeroes in on deception, manipulation, and exploitation. BaeScore™ offers the positive counterpart, measuring the health and strength of a relationship. All three are free. From there, users can go deeper with paid tools: VibeCheck delivers an AI-generated interpretation of a score; PhotoScan and ConvoScan analyze photos and text-conversation screenshots against Cray's behavioral criteria; CatfishCheck runs phone fraud lookups to catch fake identities; and OffenderCheck searches state sex offender registries. Beyond the consumer app, Cray partners directly with the institutions where young people are most vulnerable. Universities license Cray through tiered campus programs — integrating it into orientation, residence life, and student wellness initiatives so every incoming student has a safety tool at exactly the moment they need it — while Cray Protected certifies bars, restaurants, and venues committed to patron safety. Together, these programs make Cray more than an app: it's a proactive safety layer that equips students and communities to see the patterns that matter, make informed decisions, and protect themselves before something goes wrong.

FAQ

What is Cray?

Cray is a dating and relationship safety app that helps you identify red flags and manipulative behavior patterns early — before they become emotionally, financially, or physically costly.

Is Cray free?

Most of Cray is free. CrayScore™, SchemerScore™, and BaeScore™ are free forever, while deeper tools like CatfishCheck, OffenderCheck, VibeCheck, PhotoScan, and ConvoScan are small one-time in-app purchases due to data and analysis costs.

Is Cray a background check app?

No. Cray focuses on evaluating real, observed behavior and patterns to identify risk — not past records or static data. Optional lookups like OffenderCheck can complement that picture when you need it.

Is Cray only for dating?

No — Cray works for any relationship where trust is still being earned: dates, roommates, friendships, classmates, or someone you met online. Risky behavior patterns show up in social relationships too.

Is Cray private?

Yes — 100% private. Nothing you enter is posted, shared, or visible to anyone else, and no one is notified if you run a check. Cray is not a review app.

How does Cray work?

Answer guided questions about what you've actually observed in any relationship. Cray scores the patterns against 70+ research-backed red flags and gives you a CrayScore™, a severity breakdown, and a full report.
