You know that moment when your partner mentions something in passing — their dream vacation, a childhood memory, the exact way they like their coffee — and you think "I should remember that"? And then you forget. Heartnotes is where those moments go so they don't slip away. It's a simple place to write down what you learn about the person you love, organized so you can actually find it when you need it. That coffee order from 3 months ago? It's there. The gift idea they dropped a hint about? Saved. The story about their grandmother that made them tear up? You've got it. WHAT YOU CAN DO Write down facts about your partner — their favorites, their family, their quirks, their dreams. Keep it all organized by category so you're not digging through notes when their birthday is tomorrow. Get a daily prompt to reflect on your relationship. Just 5 minutes. It helps you notice things you might otherwise miss. Use the AI coach when you need ideas — it actually knows your partner based on what you've saved, so the suggestions make sense. Generate compliments when you want to say something nice but the words aren't coming. Save the ones that land. Set reminders so you don't forget to follow through on the little things. FREE • 5 facts per category • Daily prompts • Reminders • Conversation starters PRO • Unlimited facts • Custom categories • AI coach • More compliment generations "He remembered my coffee order after 3 years. I cried." — Sarah, 34 "She planned my birthday around things I mentioned months ago." — Mike, 29 Being thoughtful isn't about grand gestures. It's about paying attention. Heartnotes just helps you keep track. --- Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
