What Couple Tools does
A private space for the two of you: a shared feed, chat, tasks, events and notes, synced between both phones, with privacy when something is just for you.
Couple Tools is a mobile app designed to help couples manage their shared life together. Whether you're coordinating daily tasks, planning date nights, keeping track of important dates, or simply staying connected throughout the day, Couple Tools brings everything into one place.
What is Couple Tools?Link to this part
At its core, Couple Tools is a private space for you and your partner. Unlike general productivity apps, everything in Couple Tools is designed with couples in mind:
- Shared by default - Most features are built for collaboration, so you're always on the same page
- Privacy when you need it - Mark items as private when something is just for you
- Real-time sync - Changes appear instantly on your partner's device
- One subscription, two people - Your partner joins for free
Key ConceptsLink to this part
Your Couple AccountLink to this part
When you sign up for Couple Tools, you create a couple account. This is the shared space where all your couple's data lives. Think of it as your digital home together.
- One person creates the account and becomes the owner
- The owner invites their partner to join
- Both partners have equal access to shared content
- The subscription covers both of you
Shared vs. PrivateLink to this part
Every item you create (tasks, events, notes) can be either:
- Shared - Visible to both you and your partner
- Private - Only visible to you
You can set your default preference in Settings, and change visibility on any individual item.

SubscriptionLink to this part
Couple Tools has a 30-day free trial, so you can try everything before you subscribe. After the trial:
- Monthly or annual subscription, or lifetime access as a one-off purchase.
- One subscription covers you both. Whoever created the couple account subscribes; your partner never pays.
- Nothing is lost if it lapses. Without a subscription, you can still see everything; you just can't add or edit until you subscribe.
