Your feed

The feed is your home screen: what’s happening in your shared life at a glance, and the quickest way to add something new.

On this page

The Feed is your home screen in Couple Tools - a unified dashboard that shows everything happening in your shared life at a glance.

What You'll SeeLink to this part

The Feed organizes your tasks, events, and notes into smart sections based on timing and importance:

PinnedLink to this part

Items you've pinned appear at the top for quick access. Pin anything important - a recurring grocery list, an upcoming anniversary, or a note with important information.

TodayLink to this part

Everything happening today:

  • Overdue tasks - Tasks past their due date (shown in red)
  • Today's tasks - Tasks due today
  • Today's events - Events happening today

The date is shown in the section header so you always know what day you're looking at.
