Anchor Us helps married couples stay intentional in the small moments that shape a relationship. Most couples do not drift apart all at once. It usually happens quietly — missed check-ins, distracted evenings, unspoken appreciation, and days that pass without real connection. Anchor Us gives you simple ways to notice those moments, return to each other, and build a healthier rhythm of connection in everyday life. With Anchor Us, you can: • Choose how you want to show up for your marriage each day • Share Today’s Signal so your spouse can better understand how you are doing and what might help • Add small intentional moments like a hug, prayer, quality time, or meaningful conversation • Leave appreciation for your spouse in the Gratitude Jar • Explore connection ideas, playful interactions, and shared experiences together • Choose a Shared Growth Focus and keep something meaningful gently visible between you • Explore Shared Wisdom through Scripture, reflections, or a mix of both • Use Guided Journeys to have thoughtful conversations around communication, reconnecting, trust, faith, family, money, intimacy, new parenthood, and other seasons of marriage • Save meaningful moments and look back on the story you are building together • See progress without turning your relationship into a scorecard • Use gentle reminders to return to what matters Anchor Us is not about perfection. It is not about tracking your spouse. And it is not another noisy social app. It is a private shared space for married couples who want to notice each other, stay intentional, have fun, grow together, and keep choosing each other in ordinary life. No public feeds. No social comparison. No ads. No data selling. Just practical ways to reconnect, appreciate each other, have better conversations, and notice the pattern of your relationship over time. You can begin with your own personal Ritual space and invite your spouse when you are ready. Once linked, your shared Couple Space opens with experiences designed for the two of you. Premium features are available through optional subscriptions. Eligible linked couples receive a shared 14-day Premium trial after connecting. Anchor Us is a relationship-awareness app. It is not therapy, counseling, medical care, crisis support, or emergency support. It does not diagnose, treat, or replace professional help. For married couples who still care deeply — and want a better rhythm for showing it. Progress over perfection. Presence over pressure.

Keepsake is a free shared memory app for couples. Save the places you’ve been together, add photos and notes, and keep track of places you’d like to visit next. Over time, you’ll build a shared map and timeline of the experiences you’ve had together. MAP Every saved date appears on your shared map, so you can easily look back at the restaurants, trips, parks, coffee shops, and other places that have become part of your relationship. PLAN Save places and date ideas you’d like to try together. The Date Planner can also suggest ideas based on your preferences and location. WIDGETS Add Keepsake widgets to your Home Screen or Lock Screen to see how long you’ve been together, the distance between you, or a rotating collection of your favorite photos. ALBUMS Organize your dates into albums however you like, whether that’s by trip, year, city, occasion, or anything else that matters to you. MONTH IN REVIEW At the end of each month, Keepsake puts together a recap of your favorite dates and highest-rated places. Save it for yourself or share it as a photo. Keepsake was made by a couple who wanted a better way to remember the dates we’ve been on, not just where we went, but the photos, notes, and little details that made each one special.
