Breakup app delivers the ugly truth so you don’t have to

Let’s face it, breaking up with someone is a messy, awkward, business. But, good news: Now you can end your relationship the lazy way with an app that will handle your breakup for you. It’s called Binder and it’s absolutely perfect — if you’re a horrible person.

The app, available now on iOS and Android, appears to be loosely based on Tinder — it helps automate breakups by allowing you to end a relationship with just one swipe to the right.

In order to take advantage of Binder’s relationship-ending service, simply choose the gender of your (soon to be ex) significant other, add in their name and phone number, choose from a list of hilariously brutal reasons (like, “our relationship is as patchy as your beard”), swipe right and the app takes care of the rest.

Those on the receiving end are treated to an equally harsh breakup text message and phone call, relaying the sad news in the bluntest way possible, though the phone calls are easily the most heartless.

The app uses several different pre-recorded breakup voice messages — all of which are so mean you have to laugh — though the Scottish voice of the app does its best to stay upbeat as it delivers the bad news. In our favorite of the pre-recorded messages, the mysterious Scot sings his breakup message in a very half-hearted attempt to soften the blow.

The app appears to have been created by Scottish beer company Tennent’s, which promoted the app on its Facebook and Twitter pages. It’s not clear why the beer company, which bills itself as “Scotland’s Favorite Pint,” would be interested in a breakup app, though it has poked fun at tech products in the past. The company previously made a spoofed Apple Watch commercials with a video for the AyeWatch, a smartwatch that only says “Aye.”
