About

DreamDuo

Read full description

DreamDuo is a couple goal tracker and private shared space for two. Save for a trip, plan a wedding, build a habit side by side, or start a bucket list for your relationship. Plan it, track it, and celebrate it together. Free to start. One plan covers both of you. SHARED DREAMS, PRIVATE ONES Create dreams together as a couple, or keep personal dreams private. Your partner never knows they exist. Track each dream four ways: amount, checklist, habit, or time. HIDDEN CONTRIBUTIONS AND LOCKED MESSAGES Secretly add to any dream. Your partner will not see it until you are ready. Lock a personal message to 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%, and it unlocks the moment they get there. TURN EVERY MILESTONE INTO A SHARED MEMORY Hit a milestone and get a full screen celebration. Add a progress photo and unlock your partner's secret message. EVERY PHOTO, LINK, AND FILE IN ONE PLACE Save links from Pinterest, YouTube, or anywhere else. Upload photos, PDFs, and docs. Everything lives with the dream it belongs to, so nothing gets buried in a chat. DAILY QUESTIONS FOR COUPLES One question a day. You both answer privately, then the answers reveal together. Send a nudge, a photo, a sound, or a quick poll when you are thinking of them. CLOSE, EVEN LONG DISTANCE DreamDuo works for a long distance relationship as well as for couples who share a home. Distance and local time show where your partner is in their day. SMART INSIGHTS THAT KEEP YOU ON TRACK See if you are ahead or behind schedule, get milestone alerts, and build a streak together.
