How can we help?

Re:Bond is your relationship's quiet companion. It helps you and your partner reflect, communicate, and grow closer through simple daily rituals—without the pressure of traditional "relationship work."

Through daily check-ins, thoughtful questions, and personalized insights, Re:Bond helps surface the patterns and feelings that often go unspoken in day-to-day life.

The first person to sign up generates a 6-character pairing code in the app, then shares it with their partner (via text, email, or just reading it aloud). The partner goes to 'Have an invite code?' link at app launch and enters the code to connect.

Re:Bond is currently in beta for founding couples. Sign up on our homepage with your email and we'll invite you when your spot is ready. Founding couples get every feature completely free for a full year—no credit card needed.

After your founding year, you'll have the option to continue with a paid subscription to keep all features. We'll always offer fair, transparent pricing—and as a founding couple, you'll get the best rate we ever offer.

Yes! Daily check-ins work the same way—you'll still receive personalized weekly feedback every Sunday. You can also use Nook for private notes and reminders.

Shared features like Bond questions, couple insights, and Repair Tools become available once you connect with your partner.

Check-ins are a simple daily ritual where you log your mood (on a 1-5 scale) and share a brief reflection about your day. Think of it as a personal journal entry—just for you and Re:Bond, which helps spot patterns over time.

The more honestly you share, the better your weekly insights will be.

There's no right or wrong answer. Share what feels true—what contributed to your mood, what's on your mind, or what happened today. It can be about work, your relationship, family, health, or just life in general.

Even a few honest sentences help Re:Bond understand your emotional patterns over time.

No worries—life gets busy. You can fill in yesterday's check-in if you'd like to keep your streak going. The app will prompt you to add it when you open today's check-in.

Once submitted, check-ins can't be edited—this helps preserve the authenticity of your reflections. However, you can always add context in your next check-in if you feel something was misunderstood.

Your check-ins are yours alone—you'll still get your personalized Sunday feedback even if your partner misses a day. The shared insights are richer when both of you check in regularly, but they're still generated either way.

We never share how often each partner checks in—no pressure, no guilt.

The circular progress ring on your Dashboard shows your check-in activity for the current week (Sunday through Saturday). Each segment represents a day:

Filled segments = days you've checked in
Empty segments = days without a check-in

The ring resets every Sunday at the start of a new check-in week. It's a gentle visual cue—not a streak or a score—just a quiet reminder to check in when you're ready. The more you share how your day went with me, the richer your weekly insights will be.

Bond is a feature where you and your partner answer the same question—separately and privately—before seeing each other's responses. It's designed to spark meaningful conversations and help you understand each other more deeply.

Think of it as a conversation starter, guided by research on what helps couples connect.

Answers stay hidden until both of you have responded. This "double-blind" approach encourages honest, uninfluenced answers—you're sharing your true feelings, not what you think your partner wants to hear.

Once both answers are in, they're revealed together.

Questions are curated based on relationship research (including work by Dr. John Gottman and Dr. Arthur Aron). They're tailored to your relationship stage and designed to build intimacy gradually.

You can also choose from different categories or depth levels.

Surface: Light, fun questions to get the conversation flowing. Great for busy days.
Medium: Thoughtful questions that invite reflection without being too heavy.
Deep: Vulnerable, meaningful questions for when you're ready to go deeper.

Start wherever feels comfortable—there's no pressure to dive deep right away.

Once both answers are in, you'll see them side by side along with a Re:Bond-generated insight. The insight highlights common ground, potential areas for conversation, and suggestions for understanding each other better.

It's a starting point—the real conversation happens between you.

There's no strict deadline. Take the time you need to give a thoughtful answer. However, the question will gently expire after a few days if neither partner responds, making room for a fresh one.

Tap the bookmark icon on any question to save it for later. Bookmarked questions appear in your "Saved" tab so you can easily find them when you're ready to answer.

When both partners answer, you'll see a 4-card reveal. Swipe through them:

1. The Question - A reminder of what was asked
2. Your Answer - What you wrote
3. Partner's Answer - What they wrote
4. Re:Bond Insight - Observations and conversation starters

Bond organizes questions into a journey with five stages: Getting Started, Building Connection, Going Deeper, The Hard Stuff, and Your Legacy.

Most stages are available from the start, but some categories unlock as you answer more questions together—for example, Vulnerability unlocks after 15 foundation questions, and the Legacy stage unlocks after 25 total questions. You'll see celebration animations at key milestones.

No pressure at all. When you tap a deep question, a gentle check-in appears: "Am I in a calm, connected space right now?" You can choose "I'm Ready" to proceed, or "Save for Later" to bookmark it.

You can always browse questions at any depth level and pick what feels right.

Re:Bond works best as a shared experience, but you can use it solo too. Daily check-ins and personal feedback work the same way regardless.

Shared features like Bond questions, weekly couple insights, and Repair Tools activate once both partners are connected.

Nook is your shared space for notes, reminders, and lists. Use it for grocery lists, date night ideas, things to discuss, or anything you want to remember together.

You can also keep private notes just for yourself.

No, never. Notes marked "For Me" are completely private—only you can see them. Think of it as your personal space within your shared Nook. Your partner has their own private space too.

When creating or editing a note, tap the calendar icon to set a date and time. You'll get a notification when it's time—great for anniversaries, date nights, or things you don't want to forget.

Yes! Shared notes ("For Us") can be viewed and edited by both partners. Changes sync automatically so you're always on the same page.

"For Us" notes are shared with your partner—both of you can see, edit, and add to them. Great for grocery lists, date ideas, or things to discuss.

"For Me" notes are completely private—only you can see them. Use them for personal reminders, gift ideas for your partner, or anything you want to keep to yourself.

Long-press any note and select "Pin" from the menu, or toggle the pin switch when editing a note. Pinned notes appear at the top of your Nook for easy access.

Long-press a note and tap the emoji icon, or open the note and tap "React" at the bottom. Choose an emoji to let your partner know you've seen their note—it's a quick way to acknowledge without needing to reply.

A dedicated note type for quick emotional appreciation—a sentence is enough. Tap + in Nook, choose "Appreciate," and write a brief message of gratitude or love.

Your Dashboard may also gently prompt you to send one if it's been a few days since your last appreciation.

A checklist-style note type for shared goals and to-do's. Choose "List" when creating a note, and each line becomes a tappable checkbox.

Great for trip packing, date night ideas, or home projects. Both partners can check off items, and progress syncs in real time.

Time Capsules are notes with a scheduled delivery time. When you set a delivery time on any note, it becomes a sealed card in your partner's Nook—they can see it exists (with an optional teaser line you write) but can't open it until the scheduled time arrives.

When it does, the capsule glows "ready to open." Perfect for birthday messages, anniversary notes, or surprise encouragements.

Repair Tools are three structured approaches for navigating conflict in a healthy way: Pause, Reach Out, and Translate Us.

Each tool is designed for different moments—whether you need space, want to make a gesture, or need help expressing something difficult. They're grounded in relationship research and designed to help you move through conflict, not avoid it.

Pause is a structured timeout when things get heated. You choose a duration (30, 45, or 60 minutes), and the app guides you through self-soothing activities and emotion labeling during the break.

When you're ready, you send a calm signal to your partner, and the app walks you both through a gentle reconnection flow. It's a healthier alternative to shutting down or escalating.

Reach Out offers three vulnerability levels for reconnecting after conflict:

Knock — A wordless signal that says "I'm here" when you're not ready for words yet
Peace Offering — A warm gesture to soften the space between you
Bridge — A structured I-statement to express how you feel and what you need

Your partner is notified when you reach out, so they know you're making an effort.

Translate Us uses a Nonviolent Communication (NVC) framework to help you express difficult feelings constructively. You walk through four steps: Observation, Feeling, Need, and Request.

Re:Bond then refines your input into a message your partner can hear without defensiveness. Your raw input is never shown to your partner—only the translated version.

Reach Out and Translate Us auto-expire after 48 hours. This is intentional—based on research, it prevents deadlock and encourages timely resolution. You can always start a new repair if the first one expires.

Once a repair is resolved, it becomes a read-only "keepsake" in your Nook for 24 hours, then fades away. Repair is about moving forward, not keeping score.

Only one repair can be active at a time. This is by design—it prevents overwhelm and keeps both partners focused on one conversation at a time.

During conflict, our bodies go into "emotional flooding"—heart rates rise above 100 BPM, and the parts of the brain responsible for empathy and rational discussion essentially go offline. Research by Dr. John Gottman shows that trying to resolve things in this state almost always makes it worse.

Repair Tools structure the cool-down and reconnection process so you can move through conflict instead of getting stuck in it. Pause gives you space to self-regulate. Reach Out helps you signal that you care, even when words are hard. Translate Us helps you say what you mean without triggering defensiveness.

In Japanese culture, this intentional pause is called 'Ma' (間)—the space between two people that isn't emptiness, but connection. We know that in the heat of an argument, no one thinks "let me open an app." That's okay. Repair Tools aren't built for the first fight—they're built for the moment you realize you want to fight differently. And that moment will come.

To start, go to the Nook tab, tap +, and select "Repair."

Weekly insights are summaries generated by Re:Bond that analyze both partners' check-ins from the past week. They surface patterns you might miss in day-to-day life—like correlations between stress and mood, or themes that keep coming up.

It's a way to see your week through a shared lens.

Re:Bond reads both partners' check-ins and looks for emotional patterns, recurring themes, and connections between what you each shared. It generates observations and gentle suggestions—never judgments. Your raw check-ins are never shown to your partner. Only patterns and themes surface in the shared insight.

Re:Bond doesn't replace human understanding; it helps start conversations you might not have had otherwise.

Your personal and shared couple insights arrive every Sunday. If you don't see yours yet, it might still be generating—you'll get a notification when it's ready.

Make sure both you and your partner have checked in during the week for the richest shared insights.

Yes! The Insights tab offers three ways to view your history:

Latest — Your most recent weekly insight
2nd Latest — The previous week's insight
Timeline — A scrollable archive of all your past weekly insights, organized by date

Tap the pills at the top of the Insights tab to switch views, and tap any week in the Timeline to read its full report.

When you see the "brewing" animation (a steaming coffee cup), it means your shared couple insights are being generated by Re:Bond. Insights arrive every Sunday.

Brewing usually takes a few hours. Once complete, you'll receive a notification and can view your fresh insights.

Micro-challenges are generated as part of your weekly Sunday feedback. Re:Bond looks at what you shared during the week—your moods, reflections, and themes—and suggests specific, personalized actions that address what came up. They're not generic tips; they're grounded in your actual week.

Pairing connects you and your partner so you can share insights, Bond questions, and Nook notes. Here's how it works:

1. One partner generates an invite code — a unique 6-character code created from within the app.
2. They share the code — via text, email, or just reading it aloud.
3. The other partner enters the code — on the same Pairing screen, under "Got a code?"
4. You're connected! — Both partners are now linked and can use all shared features.

If you generated the code: Invite codes expire after 7 days. Tap "Generate new code" to create a fresh one and share it again.

If you're entering a code: Double-check the code with your partner — make sure all 6 characters are correct and the code hasn't expired. Ask your partner to generate a new one if needed.

If you continue to have trouble, contact us at support@tryrebond.com.

Yes, but you'll need to unpair from your current partner first. Go to Settings, tap on your partner's section, and select "Unpair." After unpairing, you can generate a new invite code or enter someone else's code.

Note: After unpairing, shared insights and notes will no longer be accessible to either partner.

Go to Settings > tap on your partner's section > Unpair. You'll see a confirmation dialog explaining what happens next.

After unpairing, you'll keep your own data (check-ins, private notes), but shared insights and notes will no longer be accessible to either of you.

Go to Settings (tap your avatar at the top right), then tap on your name in the profile card. A dialog will appear where you can edit your display name.

Re:Bond sends notifications for: daily check-in reminders (at your chosen time), weekly insights ready, Bond answers (when your partner responds), Nook activity (notes, appreciations, Time Capsules from your partner), and repair events (when your partner initiates or responds to a repair tool).

Adjust preferences in Settings.

On iPhone: Go to Settings > Re:Bond > Notifications and make sure "Allow Notifications" is on. Also check that Focus Mode isn't silencing Re:Bond, and that Background App Refresh is enabled (Settings > General > Background App Refresh).

On Android: Go to Settings > Apps > Re:Bond > Notifications and ensure the notification channel is enabled. Check that battery optimization isn't restricting Re:Bond (Settings > Battery > Battery Optimization > Re:Bond > Don't Optimize).

In Re:Bond: Go to Settings and verify the 'Check-in Reminder' is turned on.

Go to Settings > Account > Timezone and select your current timezone.

This matters more than you might think: your timezone determines when your "day" ends for check-in purposes, and when your Sunday feedback and insights are generated. For couples in different time zones, each partner's day boundary is set independently—so your insights always reflect your actual daily rhythm, not your partner's.

Go to Settings and scroll to the bottom. Tap "Delete Account" and follow the prompts.

Important: You must unpair from your partner first. Account deletion is permanent—all your data will be erased and cannot be recovered.

Absolutely. Your check-ins, notes, and reflections are encrypted and never shared with anyone outside your partnership. We don't sell data, show ads, or use your information for anything other than helping your relationship.

Your relationship is yours alone.

Not everything. Here's what's shared and what's private:

Private: Your daily check-ins (until they become part of weekly insights), private Nook notes ("For Me")
Shared: Weekly insights (both see the same analysis), Bond answers (revealed together), shared Nook notes ("For Us")

All data is encrypted in transit. We host everything on secure infrastructure, no ad networks, and no tracking pixels. We never store more data than necessary.

Your emotional reflections deserve the same protection as your financial information—and that's exactly what they get.

Yes. You can request to delete all your data at any time from the app settings. Once deleted, it's gone permanently—we don't keep backups of personal data after deletion requests.

No. Your personal data is never used to train our models. When we analyze aggregated usage trends, we use pseudonymous identifiers—your data cannot be traced back to you.

Re:Bond processes your check-ins only to generate your personal insights and suggestions, on demand, for your benefit alone.

No—and it's not trying to be. Re:Bond is a daily wellness tool for reflection and communication, not a substitute for professional mental health support.

If you or your relationship needs more support, we encourage you to reach out to a licensed therapist. Re:Bond can complement therapy, but it's not a replacement for it.

Your safety matters most. If you're in an unsafe situation, please reach out to professionals who can help. In the US, the National Domestic Violence Hotline is available 24/7 at 1-800-799-7233.

Re:Bond is designed for couples who want to grow together—not as a tool for relationships where safety is a concern.

We understand relationships change. You can unlink from your partner at any time in settings. After unlinking, you'll keep your own data (check-ins, private notes), but shared insights and notes will no longer be accessible to either of you.

You can also delete your account entirely if you prefer a clean break.

Re:Bond isn't therapy and doesn't try to be. Therapy apps connect you with a professional for clinical guidance. Re:Bond is a daily companion—it helps you and your partner reflect honestly, spot patterns you'd otherwise miss, and have conversations that matter.

Think of it as brushing your teeth for your relationship: small daily habits that prevent bigger problems. It works beautifully alongside therapy, but it's not a substitute.
