Apps for Couples
For people who are already together. These apps handle the part dating apps ignore: daily questions, check-ins, therapy-informed exercises, shared calendars and money, and structured work on the arguments couples keep repeating. Paired, Lasting, Relish, Ours and Evergreen sit here, some written with clinicians, some with a quiz engine and good design. The grade looks at who wrote the content, how much of it sits behind the subscription, whether the app helps a couple in trouble or only one already doing fine, and how it handles the privacy problem of two people sharing one account and one history.
