You already know. Touchstone helps you see it. Everybody's hearing your story. Nobody's counting it. Touchstone counts it. You've been doing the math in your head for weeks — the text that didn't land, the night that felt off, the way you keep explaining him to yourself. You've pasted the situation into a chatbot at 1am. You've talked it through with three different friends. None of them are counting. Touchstone gives you a private place to write it down and come back to it. Touchstone is the private place to finally make sense of your dating life — a relationship diary with an insightful companion, Sage, on your shoulder. HOW IT WORKS 1. Log what happens. A moment, a feeling, something he said, did, or didn't do. One line is enough. The app is built to be opened in the parking lot, the bathroom, the back of the Uber. 2. Return to what you wrote. Your diary gives you a private record of what has been happening, so you can reflect over time instead of trying to hold every detail in your head. 3. Sage reflects. Not advice. Not a verdict. Sage reflects on what you share and helps you put your thoughts into words — without telling you what to do. 4. The pattern becomes visible. Over time, you can return to your own words and make sense of the pattern in a relationship at your own pace. A PRIVATE VAULT, BY DESIGN Your entries live in a private space. Nothing is shared automatically. PREMIUM Premium offers deeper relationship insights. In the United States, Premium is available at $9.99 per month or $89.99 per year, with a two-week free trial for eligible new subscribers. The applicable store shows the current price, trial eligibility, renewal terms, and how to cancel before purchase. FREE TO START Track every relationship free with a private diary and Sage. Create a separate diary for a dating partner, spouse, ex-partner, friend, family member, coworker, or someone else — there is no relationship limit. Premium offers deeper relationship insights. Touchstone is for the woman who's tired of second-guessing herself, who wants something that remembers, and who knows — somewhere underneath the noise — that she just needs to see it clearly. You already know. Touchstone will help you see it. Private. Free to start.
