There's always something new to learn about your partner! Navigate the galaxy of your relationship with Phorb. This is a space to log your emotions throughout the day for your partner to see in real time. Always private, always secure. Connect in other fun ways with notes and pictures, doodles, pulses, and deep questions. Whether in a long-distance relationship or living under the same roof, whether in the mood for serious depth or more playful connection, you and your partner can use Phorb to get to know each other better, keep your bond strong, and help each other flourish. EMOTION TRACKING: Select your emotion that your partner then sees. Receive notifications of your partner’s emotion and view any emotion they track throughout the day. WISHES: Post your wishes or goals for the two of you to see and work toward. Maybe your goal is to save up for a house, maybe it's to visit a new coffee shop in your city, maybe it's to watch a specific movie together that you've been excited about. This is your shared, private space to dream. DAILY SYNC: Dive deeper into your relationship with thoughtful questions that help you learn more about each other. NOTES: Share a note with text, a picture, or audio so your partner can hear you. Share a track with your partner, or attach music to a moment that fits. Add details about your day or write appreciation for your partner. You can react to any note from your partner. SAVED: Jot down private reminders only you can see, like what flowers they love. Save daily questions, notes, and other moments you want to keep. PULSES: Drag your thumb to deliver a tactile message that your partner will feel when on the app. DOODLES: Create and edit doodles together. STORY: Explore the timeline of your relationship on the app and view previous days’ tracked emotions, notes, needs, and doodles. EVENTS: Plan dates and other events using the calendar. DATE IDEAS: Find a date in your city, at home, or long distance. REQUESTING NEEDS: Select from a list of needs so that your partner has an idea of how to support you according to your current emotion. View the needs that your partner has selected. WIDGETS: Think of your partner when you see lock screen and home screen widgets that convey tracked emotions, doodles, needs, the duration of your relationship, and more. What is emotional attunement in a relationship? Being emotionally attuned to your partner involves being aware of their feelings. Although attunement is essential for a relationship to be healthy, it's not always easy to label your own emotions, let alone communicate what you might need from your partner in that moment or in that day (e.g., reassurance, physical affection, a little space, to feel seen). Not all of us were taught how to be emotionally self-aware or effectively convey our needs to our partner, but this skill can be grown! Phorb can help build this skill for you and your partner. TOGETHER TAB – GAMES & PLANS: Play couple games even when you're apart. In Two Halves, each of you draws your half of the picture blind, then you reveal it together. In Photo Booth, you both snap selfies and Phorb joins them into one shared photo strip or polaroid. React to every result and keep your favorites. Plan together too: shared wishes and fresh date ideas live right next to your games. ONE SUBSCRIPTION FOR BOTH OF YOU: Phorb's core features are free. When one partner subscribes to Premium, it unlocks for both of you.
