Frequently asked questions
How does the couples check-in work?
Both partners answer the same 8 guided questions, then open the compare view to read each other's answers side by side. Save the check-in to build a history you can revisit.
Is our check-in data private?
Completely private. Names, answers, habits and streaks are stored only in your browser's localStorage. Nothing is uploaded or shared with anyone.
Does it work for long-distance relationships?
Yes. Flip on long-distance mode and two extra questions appear about feeling connected across the distance and planning your next visit or call.
Which daily habits does the tracker include?
The same five habits appear each day: thank your partner, phones away at a meal, ask about their day, one kind act, and a warm affectionate check-in. Ticking them builds a streak per habit.
How often should we do a check-in?
Weekly is the sweet spot for most couples: often enough to catch small issues early, light enough to keep doing. Pick a calm 20-minute slot and protect it.
What is a couples check-in and why do it weekly?
Short answer: A couples check-in is a brief weekly ritual where both partners answer the same questions about the relationship and share their answers. It works because small issues get named while they are still small. This tool structures it for you: 8 guided questions covering appreciation, unspoken thoughts, support, stress and affection, answered separately and compared side by side.
The compare view is the heart of it. Reading your partner's words directly, without interruption, builds the listening most couples skip in busy weeks.
What questions should couples ask in a weekly check-in?
Short answer: The questions are specific, kind and forward-looking. Ask what your partner appreciated this week, what they wish went differently, what is on their mind unsaid, and one small thing you could do together next week. Avoid yes-or-no questions and anything phrased as an accusation. This tool's 8 guided questions surface gratitude, concerns and wishes in one sitting.
Long-distance couples get two extra questions about staying connected across miles and planning the next visit, which keeps the distance from becoming silence.
How do you do a relationship check-in that actually helps?
Short answer: Make it a ritual: same time each week, phones away, 20 calm minutes. Answer separately first so both voices are heard, then read the compare view together without interrupting. End with one small thing you will do for each other next week. Save each check-in to build a private history, and watch daily habit streaks grow between sessions.
If a check-in surfaces something big, pause and schedule a deeper talk. The weekly ritual is for maintenance; heavy topics deserve their own unhurried time.
