Twig - The shared journal for couples. Social media is too public and scrapbooking is too hard - share your memories with your partner in one place, just for the two of you. Each memory has a place for you to upload photos and each add a note about your special moment. Twig makes it easy to document even the smallest of sweet moments. Plus, it's completely free. The story behind Twig: Both my fiancé Kassidy and I have gifted each other various forms of scrapbooks. While that definitely has its place, we wanted something that could be used any time something special happened. So I set out to make this app. Now we've got a rolling memory of all sorts of special moments we've shared! I hope it's just as useful for you as it has been for us. Enjoy!
Our Orbit

Our Orbit is a private journal for two people. There is no feed, no followers, no likes. Just you, your partner, and a quiet place to put the days down as they happen. TOGETHER IN SECONDS One person makes a circle, the other joins with a six character code. That's the whole setup. From then on, you're writing in the same place. WRITE YOUR DAY Keep a real journal. A few lines, a mood, a photo, wherever you are. Choose what your partner can see, and keep the rest in the "Just for me" section that only ever opens for you. REMEMBER IT TOGETHER Shared memories hold two perspectives on the same moment. You write yours, they write theirs, and neither of you sees the other until you've both finished. The same evening, remembered twice. ONE QUESTION AT A TIME Ask your partner something real. Both of you answer privately, then it reveals side by side. Hundreds of prompts across memories, dreams, gratitude and the things people don't get around to asking. A SHARED TIMELINE Your entries and theirs, on one lifeline. Tap any day to see how you both were. Plan dates, mark the anniversaries that matter, and let the date roulette decide whose turn it is to organise something. MOOD, SIDE BY SIDE A number a day from each of you, drawn together over time. It's a small thing that turns out to say a lot. INSIGHTS INTO YOUR STORY Our Orbit reads what you write and finds the themes running under it. What lifts you. What drains you. What keeps coming back. Free orbits get a monthly theme. Premium unlocks weekly insights across everything you both write, smart tags on every entry, and a gentle summary of how your partner's week has been. FREE AND PREMIUM Everything you do together is free: journaling, shared memories, questions, events, date plans, mood, pairing. Premium adds the insights layer, smart tags, the partner summary and up to five photos per entry. One subscription covers both of you. Made for couples who want somewhere to be honest. Note that for premium subscribers, payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
