The weekly check-in, built into the week.

Couples are told to “check in regularly” by roughly every article ever written about relationships, and almost nobody does it, because a check-in with no material is a conversation that starts with “so… how was your week?” and ends four minutes later.

The review works here because the week is already written down. You are not trying to remember what happened. You are looking at it.

Private until mutual

Neither of you can see what the other wrote until you have both submitted. This is enforced in the code, in both directions, and it is the rule the whole ritual depends on.

Without it, the second person to answer is not reflecting. They are responding. They have read the verdict and they are writing a reply to it. One-sided honesty is the failure mode of every shared journal, and the fix is mechanical rather than a request to be fair.

Private notes never cross at all, in either direction, submitted or not.

What it asks

A handful of short questions, one at a time: which of your partner’s moments meant the most to you, whether anything helpful never got written down, how fair the week felt, and what next week deserves. Most are optional, and the last question is only ever seen by you.

The record does the arguing so neither of you has to. The week you are looking at together is the week that actually happened, every moment with its hearts, not two competing memories of it.

Your day, your timezone, one reminder

You pick the review day together, and the week is cut at your own local midnight. Change the day later and you get a short transition week rather than having the week you are standing in reshaped around you.

There is one email a week, only when the review is not done, and it can be switched off in a single click from the message itself. No sign-in, no preference centre, no three-step flow. A weekly email nobody can stop gets reported as spam, and that damages delivery of every message the product sends, including the password reset somebody is locked out without.

Nothing scolds you

There are no streaks to break, no red states and no down arrows. Miss a week and the app says nothing about it. A quiet week is read as a quiet week, not as a failure.
