Features
Read full description

A serious compatibility check for two people deciding something real — marriage or a business partnership. Each of you answers on your own iPhone. Results cross phone-to-phone. No server. No account. Mortise is for the decision moment: getting engaged, moving in, starting a company together. Choose the pair type — Couple or Business partners — and each of you completes a substantial battery on your own iPhone, at your own pace, in two or three sittings (about 40 minutes each in total, honestly stated up front). YOUR ANSWERS NEVER LEAVE YOUR TWO PHONES There is no server, no account, and no analytics. You pair with a QR code, then send your answers as an encrypted file over AirDrop, Messages, or Mail — sealed so that only the intended iPhone can open it, and verified on arrival. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. Privacy label: Data Not Collected. CONSENT COMES FIRST The person who starts the check (the Initiator) chooses up front who will see the report — both of you, or only them. The invited Partner sees that choice, and the honest time commitment, before the first question is asked — and can decline. Whoever ends up reading the pair report, the invited Partner receives their own individual profile summary on their own iPhone after answering — so both of you get something real from the time it takes. AN HONEST REPORT, NOT A SCORE The report is not a percentage and not a verdict stamp. It is two profiles, a read on how accurately you each see the other, and a conditional conclusion — including, when the profiles say so, an honest "probably not a fit, and here is why" — with the topics worth talking through either way. A METHOD, NOT A QUIZ The comparison method is the author's method of a practicing psychologist, in use with real couples since 2019. Mortise is not medical or psychological diagnosis, not therapy, and not a substitute for a specialist; the report is material for a conversation between the two of you. Some scales are experimental and marked as such while validation continues. FOR COUPLES AND COFOUNDERS Couples get modules on closeness and expectations of life together. Business partners get working rhythm, risk and money, disagreement style, and venture values — because "will we work well together?" deserves the same seriousness as "should we get married?" Free. All of it. No subscription, no unlocks, nothing to cancel. Privacy Policy: https://hadgerapps.github.io/mortise/privacy/ Terms of Use: https://hadgerapps.github.io/mortise/terms/
