## What is Parella?

Parella (formerly You & Me) is an app for couples: a shared calendar, a chat, a days-together counter and goals for two. No feed, no likes, nobody else: one calm place for just you and me.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Shared calendar
Date nights, trips, appointments, birthdays — you both see the same schedule. Anniversaries repeat every year, an event that matters can remind you, and a ticket or booking goes with it.

• A chat for two
No group threads, no outsiders. Photos, voice messages, video circles, reactions, replies and read receipts.

• "Together for" counter
The date it all started and the days since — on the home screen and widget.

• Widgets for the home screen
Days together, moods, events, tasks you can tick off, a note, the photo of the day and the cycle day — without opening the app.

• Mood of the day
Log how your day goes and see your partner's. A month of history shows how you both have been.

• Games and questions for two
Questions for each other, "Secret answers", "Which of us?", a reaction duel, tic-tac-toe, Battleships. "Dilemma" — on one phone or on two: see where you agree.

• Assistant
Say or type "dinner with Anya on Saturday at seven" and it makes the event, chore or shopping item, showing what it will create first. It answers questions about your week, too.

• Cycle calendar
Whoever has a cycle marks a period's first and last day; the app works out the cycle and the next date; the partner sees what to expect. If you both have one, each gets their own — and only you two see it.

• Shared goals
The dream trip, the renovation, the half marathon — with a checklist, a cover and progress you both see. If it is about money, set an amount: you see what is saved and what is left, and the pot is shared.

• Letters to the future
A letter that opens no earlier than the day you pick. Until then nobody can read it, the author included: it stays sealed on the server.

• Wishlists
Each of you keeps a list with photos, prices and links. Your partner can reserve a gift without you finding out — the surprise stays a surprise.

• Agreements
Write down what you two settled on: who cooks, how you argue, what matters. Stopped working? Tap "Talk it over" and your partner sees it on the home screen.

• Lists
A shopping list, films and books, places to go — a place gets an address and directions. A tick shows on their phone at once; films and books get a genre and a rating. Chores are shared: "I'll take it" or "For Asya" — you both see who took what.

• Notes
The door code, the Wi-Fi password at your parents', an idea for the weekend. Pinned ones come first and show on the home screen; one can greet your partner on opening.

• Documents
Policies, tickets, contracts and scans — one shared folder, up to 50 MB.

• Loyalty cards
Store cards for both: a barcode or QR code at the till.

• Shared contacts
One address book for two: doctor, plumber, parents, friends.

• Album of memories
Shared photos with captions and dates. Up to 75 MB per couple.

• App lock
It opens the way your phone does — fingerprint, face or passcode.

HOW IT WORKS

One of you creates the couple space and gets a code or a link; the other joins — and everything shared appears for both. Changes sync in real time across different phones. Good for long-distance couples too: one calendar, one chat, the same lists.

Russian and English interface, light and dark themes.

For couples at any stage: just dating, living together or married for years.

## Key features

- Shared calendar for events and reminders
- Private chat with photo sharing
- Shared goals with progress tracking

### 5/5 — Обожаю!

*2026-10-09*

Одно из самых чудесных приложений! Установила не так давно и с удовольствием наблюдаю, как вы делаете его лучше и лучше! Не думала, что получится пользоваться активно, а оказывается даже партнеру зашло. Играли в ресторане, пока ждали заказ, так мило. Регулярно обмениваемся объятиями, когда не рядом. Календарь, фото, напоминания - все так полезно! Спасибо вам за это чудо!

**Developer response:** Спасибо, очень радостно это читать. Игры за столиком, пока ждёте заказ, и объятия, когда вы не рядом, — ровно то, ради чего я всё это делаю, и особенно приятно, что партнёру тоже зашло. А что нового в каждом обновлении, видно в «Настройки» → «Помощь и связь» → «История обновлений».

### 5/5 — Супер

*2026-10-08*

Потрясающее приложение для пары, очень здорово, что разные операционные системы поддерживают одинаковый функционал. Спасибо вам, мы с мужем очень довольны)

**Developer response:** Спасибо! Мне и самому важно, чтобы у двоих с разными телефонами было одно приложение, а не два похожих, и приятно, что это видно. Пусть и дальше выручает вас с мужем.

### 5/5 — 1000 благодарностей

*2026-10-07*

Дорогой разработчик! Спасибо большое за такое крутое приложение! Если не сложно добавьте пожалуйста виджет с календарем на месяц)

**Developer response:** И вам тысяча спасибо. Виджет с месяцем целиком делать не буду: берегу приложение от перегруза. Ближе всего к нему виджет «Календарь»: сегодня и ближайшие события, а касание по заголовку открывает календарь в приложении. Как его поставить, показано в «Настройки» → «Вид и главная» → «Виджеты».

### 5/5 — Любимое приложение

*2026-10-07*

Спасибо большое за такое полезное приложение. 🩷

**Developer response:** Спасибо 🩷 Прочитать «любимое приложение» о том, что делаю сам, очень приятно. Рад, что оно вам пригодилось.

### 5/5 — Супер

*2026-10-02*

Замечательное приложение, очень многофункциональное, и продуманное для пар, каждый раз радуюсь, сколько деталей вы создали в этом приложении. Очень удобно, практично и ребята постоянно обновляют улучшают его, хочется заходить им пользоваться, очень довольна! ❤️
100/10

**Developer response:** Александра, спасибо! Я делаю это приложение, и «каждый раз радуюсь, сколько деталей» — лучшее, что можно о нём услышать. Если чего-то не хватает, напишите прямо в приложении: «Настройки» → «Помощь и связь» → «Написать нам».

### 5/5 — 🤌🤌🤌

*2026-10-01*

Потрясающее приложение! Спасибо за такую милоту! Очень удобно и весело им пользлваться)))

**Developer response:** Спасибо! 🤍 Очень приятно читать — рады, что вам весело.

### 5/5 — Спасибо разработчику

*2026-09-30*

Не могли долго найти приложение доступное для iOS и Android, это приложение оказалось единственным, которое поддерживает обе операционные системы.
Спасибо разработчику за крутые обновления, которые расширяют функционал приложения. Пользуемся каждый день, нам стало удобно планировать дела.

**Developer response:** Спасибо, что написали! Ради этого и делали — чтобы пара была вместе, даже если телефоны разные. Очень рады, что планировать дела стало удобно.

### 1/5 — Копируют приложение оригинала

*2026-09-28*

Копируют приложение оригинала и это выглядит очень подло. Функционал в разы хуже того приложения и это приложение не стоит рядом даже с тем приложением. Не советую!!

**Developer response:** Спасибо, что написали. You & Me мы делаем сами, с нуля: код, дизайн и сервер наши, приложение работает на iPhone, Android и в браузере. Похожих названий у приложений для пар много, но это отдельный продукт. Если попробуете — будем рады отзыву о нём самом.

### 1/5 — Копирует приложение оригинала

*2026-09-28*

Кока кола ориг всегда будет лучше кока колы добрый

**Developer response:** Спасибо, что написали. You & Me мы делаем сами, с нуля: код, дизайн и сервер наши, приложение работает на iPhone, Android и в браузере. Похожих названий у приложений для пар много, но это отдельный продукт. Если попробуете — будем рады отзыву о нём самом.

### 3/5 — Ююю

*2026-09-25*

Что делать, если в приложении все пропало. Галерея и вещлисты пустые. Есть только дата начала отношений. Подскажите пожалуйста, причем на 2 телефоне все нормально.

**Developer response:** Простите, что так вышло. Записи пары хранятся на сервере, и раз на втором телефоне всё на месте — они целы. Похоже, этот телефон вышел из аккаунта и оказался в другом, новом. Проверьте: «Настройки» → «Данные и аккаунт» → «Аккаунт» — там видна почта. Если она не та, под которой вы в паре, выйдите и войдите прежней почтой (не помните пароль — «Забыли пароль?»). Не получится — напишите нам из приложения, «Настройки» → «Написать нам»: найдём прежний аккаунт и вернём вас к вашим записям. А чтобы такое не повторялось, сейчас чиним вход: приложение будет прямо говорить «войдите снова», а не показывать пустые разделы.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.43.0 — 2026-10-10

• You can now rearrange sections right on the “Ours” tab: press and hold one, then drag it. Hold and let go to move it up, into another group, or hide it.
• “Battleships” is now right on the “Ours” tab with the other games, and “Duel for two” has moved to “All games”. To bring it back, press and hold a game on “Ours” and choose “Duel for two” — it takes that game’s place.
• Don’t need “Counters”? Hide them in “What to show”, or — while you have none — with the cross on the card itself.
• Your own time zone: Settings → Notifications → Time zone. Your partner’s changes and games won’t arrive at night where you are, and tips and emails come only in the daytime. Handy if your phone isn’t set to your zone or you use the web version.

### 1.42.0 — 2026-10-09

• “Ours” is easier to scan: the main sections are big cards, the rest are tiles, and nothing is hidden. If a game is waiting for your move, you see it straight away.
• “Sizes” is now on the “Ours” tab too.
• “All games” now shows games as tiles, and the ones where it’s your move are gathered in one card at the top.
• The “What to show” screen in settings now has one view at a time: “Home” or “Ours”.
• Dictation no longer gets stuck: you can always stop it, even if speech recognition goes quiet. In the assistant, the mic turns off by itself once you start typing.
• Parella stickers are on Telegram now: the same ones as in the chat, plus new ones. Settings → Notifications → Telegram → Add the set.
• In the “Plain” style, icons now sit on matching backgrounds and use the colour you picked in Look and home → Colour.

### 1.41.0 — 2026-10-09

• The app now has a “Plain” style for those who find it too cute: a white background (graphite in the dark theme), the system font, emoji instead of the characters’ faces in mood check-ins, and simple icons. Settings → Look and home → Style. The style changes only on this phone — your partner keeps their own. You can also pick the white background on its own: Background → White.
• Parella is now our only name, in the stores too.
• On iPhone, the app now needs iOS 17 or later.

### 1.40.0 — 2026-10-07

• On iPhone with iOS 15–16.3, the app opens again instead of getting stuck on the loading screen. Your data and your couple are still there.
• A new game — “Battleships”: on two phones, each of you firing from your own, or on one phone you pass back and forth. It’s in “Ours” → “All games”.
• Counters for two — days until you meet, since you moved in, until military service ends: a name and a day, counting down to it or up from it, as you choose. Up to three per couple, and you both see them: at the top of “Ours” and on the home screen under your days together.
• Decide which of you is Clay and which is Sage — in Settings → Our couple, the “Who’s who” card. Your partner sees the choice right away.
• Full-screen photos now zoom with a pinch or a double tap. And the “Save photo” button next to the cross saves the picture to your phone — the photo of the day, chat photos and album photos.
• Clips recorded on iPhone after this update no longer freeze halfway — the picture now plays to the end along with the sound.
• Shared currency: pick it in Settings → Our couple, and savings goals and the amounts in wishlists and shopping lists show it for both of you.
• Long shopping item names are no longer cut off for good: tap one to see it in full. The box on the left ticks the item off.
• The chat no longer jumps: photos and sketches take their place right away, and tapping the paperclip doesn’t send you back to older messages.
• You can attach a screenshot in the “Write to us” chat. And under the assistant’s reply there’s “That helped” and “I need a person” — the second passes the conversation straight to us.
• If your partner sends a six-digit code, the app will tell you it’s a code from a different app: a Parella code has eight letters and digits.
• On iPhone, the system prompts for access to photos, the camera and the microphone now come in one language instead of two: Russian on a phone set to Russian, English on any other.

### 1.39.0 — 2026-10-07

• The app is now called Parella and has a new icon — Clay and Sage, the characters from the stickers. Your data and your couple are all still there, and there’s no need to sign in again.
• A new game — “Stories”: short stories for two where each of you chooses on your own phone, and the choices are revealed once both are made. It’s in “Ours” → “All games”.
• Clay and Sage are now in the app itself: on section icons, in place of initials on avatars without a photo, and wherever things are still empty — a new chat, lists and wishlists. They also wait for your partner with you and show up when there’s no connection.
• Clay and Sage now show your mood: five of their faces instead of emoji — on the home screen and on the “Mood history” screen. Your mood shows on your character’s face, your partner’s on theirs.
• Tic-tac-toe for two is in “Ours” → “All games”: take turns, each on your own phone, and your move waits for your partner even when the app is closed.
• Tasks can now repeat every day, every week or every month — edit a task, “More” → “Repeat”. When you tick one off, it moves to “Done” and the same task takes its place for next time.
• All photos, voice messages and clips from the chat are now on one screen, by month: a photo opens full screen, a voice message plays right in the list. It’s under the paperclip: “All photos, voice messages and clips”.
• Home screen widgets now follow the app’s theme: if you’ve picked dark or light in the app, the widgets match it, even when your phone uses the other one. The “Together” widget shows mood faces — yours and your partner’s.
• Home screen widgets now match the app’s colour. To pick a colour: Settings → Look and home → Colour.
• Confirm your email to get three chat stickers from Clay and Sage. They’ll appear at the end of the sticker panel.
• You can now arrange your loyalty cards: press and hold a card, then drag it. The order is shared, so your partner sees it too. If your partner’s app is older, the cards stay as they were on their phone.
• Secret answers now has twice as many of its usual questions — a hundred and twenty. New questions come mixed in with the earlier ones, and those you’ve already answered won’t come up again.
• A sent photo of the day now goes into the album together with its caption. You can also fix your caption after sending — just tap the words on the home screen.
• If a photo doesn’t load because of a server hiccup, the app tries a few more times on its own, and again when you come back to it. Photos, voice messages and clips the server didn’t accept go out again after a few seconds. If that fails too, your shot and caption stay put — just tap “Retry”.
• If you’ve already seen a message, reaction or event in the app, you won’t get a notification about it afterwards.
• Emails about news and offers come only if you’ve agreed to them: with the tick box when you sign up, or the “Emails from Parella” row in Settings → Notifications. They’re off by default.
• The “Year together” picture and the game result card now end with the Parella mark and name instead of a link.
• In the wishlist, “Came true” and “Gifted” can be undone right away with “Undo”.
• On iPhone with iOS 27, the dark theme no longer has a light band at the top of the screen.
• The calendar is simpler: in the event form, category and attachments are now under “More”, and “Repeat” is a single row, like “When”.
• The chat now shows when your partner is in the app: a ring around their photo and “in the app” under their name. The mark works only when both of you have turned it on: Settings → Data and account → Data and security, the “Partner in the app” card. It is off by default, and the app keeps no history of visits.
