When words feel too hard, send a soft signal. Still Here helps couples stay connected after difficult moments โ without forcing a conversation before you're ready. After an argument, silence can feel cold. But a normal text can feel too risky. Still Here gives you a small, gentle way to say: I need space, but I'm still here. With Still Here, you can: โข send soft signals to your partner โข check in with a calm feeling map โ name what you feel and what you need โข find softer words before you send, with a private Tone Check โข save private reflections and keep a gentle history of hard moments โข keep a private Keepsake Box of notes, photos, and voice memories โ locked with Face ID โข leave your partner a card โ a few words, a quote, a photo, or a voice note โข glance at the thread from your Home Screen or lock screen with a calm widget โข notice gentle, private patterns from your check-ins (Plus) Soft signals include: "I need space, but I'm still here." "I'm overwhelmed, not angry." "I want to repair this later." "Can we talk softly?" "I'm sorry for my part." Your privacy comes first. Feelings, needs, reflections, Tone Check, and your Keepsake Box never leave your device (or your own private iCloud). Only the words you choose to send reach your partner โ and there are no read receipts, no last-seen, no typing indicators, ever. Still Here is not therapy and does not decide who is right or wrong. It is a private emotional utility for couples who care about each other, even when talking is hard. Name what's here. Send what still matters. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
