Track how people make you feel. Keep the receipts. Notice the pattern. Patterns is a private relationship tracker and mood journal for understanding the connections in your life. Add a partner, date, friend, family member, or coworker, then record how each interaction leaves you feeling over time. QUICK EMOTIONAL CHECK-INS Log a feeling, choose its intensity, and add a note when context matters. A few seconds is enough to build an honest record you can return to later. KEEP THE RECEIPTS Save specific moments as green flags or red flags so important behavior does not get blurred by time. Add a title, private note, and optional photo or screenshot to remember what actually happened. SEE THE PATTERN Review relationship timelines, recurring feelings, flag totals, and 30-day trends. Notice which connections feel supportive, draining, calm, confusing, or mixed. MADE FOR EVERY RELATIONSHIP Patterns is not just a couples app. Use it for dating, friendships, family dynamics, work relationships, or any person whose behavior affects your wellbeing. Reflect on boundaries, positive signs, and difficult patterns without forcing everything into a single diary. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Names, check-ins, notes, and receipt attachments stay locally on your device, giving you a calm space to be honest with yourself.
