Stay close without the pressure. Soba is the couples app that knows when not to push. Share how you're feeling, end the day together, and stay close across any distance — without turning every check-in into a chore. RESPECT BOUNDARIES Need a moment? Tap "Need Space" and your partner knows instantly — no awkward texts needed. It's emotional intelligence built into an app. STAY IN SYNC Share your daily mood and see your two timelines build side by side. No more guessing — just honest, simple check-ins that help you understand each other better. END THE DAY TOGETHER Good Night check-ins turn bedtime into a shared ritual. Write what you're grateful for, share your thoughts, and build a streak of nightly connection — even when you're apart. TALK ABOUT WHAT MATTERS Conversation starters spark real connection. Thoughtful prompts — including Would You Rather, fun, and long-distance questions — help you go deeper than "how was your day?" and discover things you never knew about each other. PLAN SURPRISES Keep a shared gift wishlist so you always know what to get. Add items, set price ranges, and never forget a hint again. MAP YOUR STORY Track every country you've visited together, plan bucket list trips, and log travel budgets. Watch your shared adventure map grow over time. BUILT FOR DISTANCE Every feature is designed for couples who can't always be in the same room. Real-time sync means you're always connected, across any distance or time zone.
