Couple Things

Couple Things is a shared grocery list app for couples. There’s a scoreboard, a live activity feed, and just enough friendly competition to make checking off milk feel oddly satisfying. Shared grocery lists may seem boring. And they often are! But they also involve our nutrition, managing a home, and collaborating with a partner…all important things, if you ask us. So we wanted to build something that was fun, useful, *and* beautiful. Enter Couple Things. Add items to your list, either by dragging down or by tapping items in the Pantry section for quick adds. Sort them by your grocery store’s unique layout in Shopping Mode. Cross off the items as you pick them up. Earn points and watch the score update in real-time. Tap to react to your partner’s purchases, and use the Bonus button to send them a few extra points if you’re feeling charitable. The game will reset weekly, monthly, or never β€” it’s up to you. Grocery lists, admittedly, are a small part of our day-to-day lives. But collaborating with your partner, making sure your home is well-stocked, and flirting a little are bigger real-life things. That’s why we designed Couple Things with care. Let us know what you think!

Some stories deserve to be remembered. The ones your grandmother tells when the kettle's whistling. The ones your dad gives you in pieces, over years. The ones that get lost when no one writes them down. RecMyStory helps you capture them while you still can. HOW IT WORKS Pick someone you want to interview β€” a parent, grandparent, partner, friend, mentor. Choose questions from a curated library of hundreds, organized by life themes: childhood, family, school, love, work, regrets, wisdom. The app suggests questions that fit the relationship. When you're ready, press record. The questions appear on-screen, gently, one at a time. You read them, ask them in your own voice, and listen. The app does the prompting so you can focus on the conversation. Swipe to change questions. Open the questions drawer any time to jump around. Pause when you need a break. Resume when you're ready. Record in portrait or landscape. When you stop, everything is saved to your device. FINISH IT LIKE A REAL INTERVIEW Add a lower-third card at the beginning β€” the person's name and a short description, styled like a broadcast interview. Turn on the question subtitle bar to show each question on screen as it's asked, so viewers can follow along. Trim the start and end to cut dead air, without touching the original recording. CAPTIONS, ON YOUR DEVICE After each interview, the app transcribes what was said β€” entirely on your phone, using Apple's on-device speech recognition. Nothing is uploaded. The words never leave your device. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT This is not a content creation tool. No filters, no effects, no algorithmic feed. You can trim the beginning and end so the video starts where the story does, and captions are generated on your device so the words are searchable and readable β€” but nothing here is designed to turn a memory into content. It stays what it was. PRIVACY BY DESIGN Your recordings live on your device. We don't see them. We don't upload them. We don't have servers that touch them. Captions are transcribed on your iPhone. The app was built so that we cannot access your content even if we wanted to. No account required. No tracking. No analytics. No ads. Ever. THE QUESTION LIBRARY Hundreds of questions across eight relationship types β€” parents, grandparents, partners, children, friends, mentors, and more. Organized by life themes: childhood, family, school, love, work, dreams, regrets, wisdom. Each question is designed for warm, open conversation. Not interview-style interrogation. Each one is meant to invite a story. SUBSCRIPTION Your first interview is free β€” record it, watch it, trim it, keep it. To interview more people, or to save and share your videos outside the app, a subscription is needed: - Weekly - Monthly - Yearly (with a 1-week free trial) Anything you have already recorded stays yours and stays watchable in the app. Cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. FOR People who want to preserve the voices and stories of those they love β€” parents, grandparents, partners, children, friends, mentors. Adults of any age. Especially those navigating life transitions where capturing memory matters. The questions are warm. The interface is calm. The recordings are yours. Some stories deserve to be remembered. Start with one. Privacy Policy: https://skyhighapps.com/recmystory-privacy-policy/ Terms of Use: https://skyhighapps.com/recmystory-terms-of-use/
