What is The Judge?

The Judge is a goblintool that scores the emotional tone of text using a positive/negative word list. It tells you whether your message lands as warm, neutral, or critical.

Mostly English for now.

Will it store my messages?

No. The Judge goblintool runs locally and never saves your text.
