Switchy – The application to communicate better as a couple Discover Switchy, the couple communication application that helps you better understand each other, strengthen your relationship and create a daily ritual for two. Every day, you and your partner receive a couple question carefully designed to stimulate reflection, listening and sincerity. You each answer on your side, in complete confidentiality. The answers are only revealed once the two answers have been sent, to ensure honesty and avoid any influence. Switchy is neither a couple therapy nor a space of judgment. It is a relationship development tool, a benevolent mirror to observe your couple as it is... and make it evolve.
