The Judge: Settle Arguments

New: sue the whole group chat. Everyone gives their own side, blind, and one ruling covers all of them. Who left the dishes? The court will decide.

Who ate the leftovers? Whose turn is it for the dishes? Who started it in the group chat? Take it to court.

The Judge is a sharp-tongued British courtroom judge (an AI) who hears every side and settles everyday arguments between friends, roommates, couples, family and whole group chats. Right inside iMessage.

NEW: SUE THE WHOLE GROUP Fed up with the entire group chat? File one suit against all of them. Everyone gives their own side without seeing anyone else's, the judge cross-examines each person by name, and one ruling covers the whole group. Up to 15 people per side.

HOW IT WORKS • File a case: name it, give your side, and say what you're suing for (an apology, $20, dishes for a week). • Send it in Messages. The other side answers without seeing what you wrote. • The judge cross-examines with a few pointed questions. • The verdict: a winner, the deciding fact, the court's reasons, and one parting jab. • The losing side gets an appeal, with new information only. Then the ruling is final.

FEATURES • Works in iMessage, in the app, or from a web link, so nobody needs the app to answer • One-on-one cases or group suits against a whole group chat • Blind arguments: no one sees anyone else's side • Damages: the judge decides what's fair and cuts anything unreasonable • 24-hour deadline: no answer means a win by default • Court records: wins, losses, streaks, head-to-head rivalries and your Civil Court record against each group • Home Screen widgets, plus live cases on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • Siri and Shortcuts: "Start a case in The Judge" • Verified records with an optional account (email or Sign in with Apple) • Notifications when you're sued, when it's your turn, and when the verdict lands • An animated judge, gavel and courtroom sound

PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your arguments are deleted the moment the verdict lands. Only a short summary and the ruling are kept, for 30 days. No ads, no tracking.

SAFE Report any case or block anyone from the case screen. Serious topics are dismissed with support resources instead of a ruling.

The Judge is for entertainment. Rulings are made by AI and are not legal advice. Ages 13+.
