Your Personal Assistant for Relationships Between busy schedules and long days, expressing love can sometimes fall by the wayside. We forget to give gifts “just because,” offer compliments, or linger in our embraces. The things that say “I love you” seem to either not get said or not get through. As a result, our relationships can easily erode and the spark can fade. Love Nudge is a fun, habit-forming app that helps you intentionally express love in ways that are most meaningful to your partner. Designed for real-life connection, Love Nudge takes the concepts of Dr. Gary Chapman’s #1 New York Times best-seller The 5 Love Languages® to the next level. You and your loved one can learn each other’s love languages, exchange encouraging and playful nudges, set and track activity goals, and monitor the levels of each other’s love tanks for better communication and intimacy. It’s like having a personal assistant… for your relationship. The 5 Love Languages® by Dr. Gary Chapman has helped millions of couples strengthen their relationships… one language at a time. For almost two decades, The 5 Love Languages® has stood unrivaled as a top resource for love and relationships. NOTE: Love Nudge relies on a consistent internet connection. If you’re not connected when you launch the app, or if you disconnect while you’re using the app, Love Nudge will not perform as it should.

Skincare, decoded. Ever stared at an ingredient list and had no idea what half of it does? Nuvela reads the label for you. Scan any skincare product and instantly see every ingredient explained in plain English — and how well the formula suits your skin. HOW IT WORKS - Take a one-minute skin quiz — your type, concerns and any sensitivities. - Scan a product's ingredients with your camera, paste them, or pick from 100+ popular products. - Get two clear scores: a match score for your skin and a purity score for the formula. BUILD A ROUTINE THAT WORKS TOGETHER Save products to your shelf and sort them into a morning and evening routine. Nuvela flags when actives clash — like a retinoid layered with an acid — before they irritate your skin. KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR Based on your quiz, Nuvela suggests the ingredients worth seeking out, with the reason why — then helps you find products that contain them. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Scanning happens on your device. Your profile and shelf stay on your phone. NUVELA GOLD Upgrade for the full ingredient-by-ingredient breakdown, routine conflict alerts and fixes, an unlimited shelf, and early access to new features. $6.99/month or $39.99/year with a 1-week free trial. Subscriptions are billed to your Apple ID and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in Settings. Nuvela provides cosmetic-ingredient information, not medical advice. Always patch-test new products and consult a dermatologist about any skin concern.
