Pukutan is a couple app that lets you record your everyday life with your partner while raising a Pukutan that belongs only to the two of you. Log today's mood, answer daily questions, save photos and anniversaries. At the same time, you and your partner can take care of the same Pukutan together — dress it up, decorate its room, and watch it grow step by step. As your daily moments together are gradually recorded, your memories with Pukutan will keep growing too. Record how you both feel every day Each day, pick your moods separately, and your emotions will be saved on the calendar.

Keep memories that belong only to the two of you Photos you took together, those casual little moments from your dates — all can be kept in Pukutan.
