Cray - Dating and relationship safety app
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. CrayScoreTM evaluates concerning behavioral patterns across 18 categories — from control and coercion to emotional stability and legal history — while SchemerScoreTM zeroes in on deception, manipulation, and exploitation. BaeScoreTM 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.
