Plans, anniversaries, wishes, photos. Everything the two of you share, gathered into one app. futari is a couples app to use with your boyfriend, girlfriend or partner. A shared calendar, the count to your next anniversary, a daily question, even games to play together — all in one place. "When are we free next?" "Did you end up buying that?" "Where was that photo again?" The things you used to find by scrolling back through your chat are right there when you open futari. ◯ Shared calendar Dates, work, classes, trips home. Both of your plans in one calendar. The next one shows on Home too, so opening the app is enough to check. ◯ Anniversaries How many days you have been together, how many days until the next anniversary. Right at the top of Home, next to a photo of the two of you. ◯ Today's Question One question arrives each day, and you each answer whenever suits you. Things neither of you would think to ask become a way to know each other. On days you feel like talking more, there are question decks by theme. ◯ Wishes Places to go, food to try, things to make happen one day. Save them as they come to mind and tick them off one by one. For your partner's wishes, a line of encouragement is enough. ◯ Todo Packing for a trip, things to buy, favours asked. Share what needs doing and check it off when it is done. ◯ Album Keep the photos from dates, trips and ordinary days in one place. Photos of the wishes you made happen land here too. ◯ Play The Couple Type quiz, Othello, Memory, take-turns drawing, Werewolf Duet.

About

Kansha Note

Features
Read full description

A notebook where, at the end of the day, you jot down just one thing you felt thankful for. You write only one line. The length is deliberately kept short. Even if you have given up before because long entries were too much, it takes just a few seconds before bed. To write, you simply choose from "People", "Things" and "Events". So you are never left staring at a blank field, each comes with an example to start from. After a year, these small lines add up. If last year's you wrote a line on the same date, it quietly appears when you open the app. "This day last year" exists only for looking back later. A week's worth is gathered into a single card. Even in a hectic week, lining them up shows how many small things remained. It is fine to have days when you cannot write. The number of days in a row is shown small, and no words of blame appear when it breaks. There is no mechanism for comparing with others or ranking. The evening reminder can be turned on only if you want it. If you have already written that day, it will not arrive that day. What you write is saved only on this device. Nothing is sent outside, and no account registration is needed. You can also copy what you export and paste it into a notes app to keep it. No ads are shown. Developed by SAKURA PRODUCTS
