Private health reminders on your own cadence. WHAT YOU CAPTURE The moments that matter — when, where, and how you felt. Notes, moods, and tags you build yourself. Personal entries, or shared entries with a partner. WHO'S IN YOUR STORY Every partner gets a profile: a color, emoji, or photo avatar, plus the details you choose to remember — birthdays, preferences, and cycle tracking. WHAT YOU SEE A heatmap of your year. Patterns over time. Mood and location breakdowns. A clear view of your own story. YOUR STORY, MAPPED Pin meaningful moments to a map and revisit the places that have been part of your story. HOOK+ Unlimited profiles. Full stats. Map view. No ads.
