Love map

The Gottman term for knowing your partner's world, including their interests, worries, hopes, and ordinary preferences.

Free for both of you Pro is $9.99/month.

Tiptoe on iPhone: Home, with open tasks for you and Sam side by side, what you both got done this week, overdue tasks, and what was handled today with a Thanks button.

Treat knowledge as something you update through conversation, not a test to pass or a reason to record private judgments about someone.
