Parella is an app for couples: a shared calendar, a chat, a days-together counter, shared goals, and games and questions for two. No feed, no likes, nobody else: one calm place for the two of you. No ads. The author answers in the "Write to us" chat too and takes requests. WHAT'S INSIDE • Shared calendar Date nights, trips, appointments, birthdays — one schedule for both. Anniversaries repeat every year, an event that matters can remind you, and a ticket or booking goes with it. • A chat for two No group threads, no outsiders. Photos, voice messages, video circles, reactions, replies and read receipts. • "Together for" counter The date it all started and the days since — on the home screen and widget. • Widgets for the home screen Days together, moods, events, tasks and shopping you can tick off, how long until you meet, a note, the photo of the day and the cycle day — without opening the app. • Mood of the day Log how your day goes and see your partner's, with a month of history for both. • Games and questions for couples Questions for each other, "Secret answers", "Which of us?", a reaction duel, tic-tac-toe, Battleships. "Dilemma" — on one phone or on two: see where you agree. • Assistant Say or type "dinner with Anya on Saturday at seven" and it makes the event, chore or shopping item, showing what it will create first. It answers questions about your week, too. • Cycle calendar Whoever has a cycle marks a period's first and last day; the app works out the cycle and the next date; the partner sees what to expect. If you both have one, each gets their own — and only you two see it. • Shared goals The dream trip, the renovation, the half marathon — with a checklist, a cover and progress you both see. If it is about money, set an amount: you see what is saved and what is left, and the pot is shared. • Letters to the future A letter that opens no earlier than the day you pick. Until then nobody can read it, the author included: it stays sealed on the server. • Wishlists Each of you keeps a list with photos, prices and links. Your partner can reserve a gift without you knowing — the surprise stays a surprise. • Agreements Write down what you two settled on: who cooks, how you argue, what matters. Stopped working? Tap "Talk it over" and your partner sees it on the home screen. • Lists A shopping list, films and books, places to go — a place gets an address and directions. A tick shows on their phone at once; films and books get a genre and a rating. Chores are shared: "I'll take it" or "For Asya" — you both see who took what. • Notes The door code, the Wi-Fi at your parents', a weekend idea. Pinned ones come first and show on the home screen; one can greet your partner on opening. • Documents Policies, tickets, contracts and scans — one shared folder, up to 50 MB. • Loyalty cards Store cards for both: a barcode or QR code at the till. • Shared contacts One address book for two: doctor, plumber, parents, friends. • Album of memories Shared photos with captions and dates. Up to 75 MB per couple. • App lock It opens the way your phone does — fingerprint, face or passcode. HOW IT WORKS One of you creates the couple space and gets a code or link; the other joins — and everything shared appears for both. Changes sync in real time across different phones. Good for long-distance couples too. Russian and English interface, light and dark themes. For couples at any stage: just dating, living together or married for years. Parella used to be called You & Me.
