Stop guessing how your partner feels. Hueband is the simple mood tracker for couples — a private daily check-in that keeps you in sync with the people closest to you. Pick a mood, send it, see theirs. No chat to manage, no feed to scroll. Just a quiet, shared ring that shows how you're both really doing, right now. Try it free for 7 days. After that, one subscription covers both of you — not one each. WHY COUPLES LOVE HUEBAND Every relationship runs on knowing how the other person is feeling. But between work, kids, school, long-distance, and night shifts, most couples go days without really checking in. Hueband fixes that with one daily mood you can send in under five seconds. Your partner sees it the moment you send it. You see theirs the moment they do. No pressure. No performance. No public profile. Just the two of you, staying connected. HOW IT WORKS • Pick your mood from a built-in palette — happy, tired, anxious, loved, calm, and more • Add a one-line note if you want to say more • Hit send. Your partner gets a gentle push the moment it lands • Design your own moods with custom emojis, labels, and colors • Pick a character: panda, bear, cat, golden retriever or tiger cub • Answer a question a day together, then see what everyone said • A pet that reacts to how you both feel and carries hugs and notes between you • Watch your week build into one shared mood ring — a color-by-color rhythm of your relationship • Scroll back through your full history, any time — searchable, never deleted • Set gentle nudges so you never miss a daily check-in Close to more than one person? Not every close relationship is a pair. Keep up to three circles, with up to four people in each. • Keep separate private circles for your partner, your family and your best friend. They never see each other's moods • Or bring everyone into one shared circle, where the whole group stays connected PRIVATE BY DESIGN Hueband is built for you and the people you choose — your partner, or a small private circle. No feed. No public profile. No ads. We don't train AI on your moods. Your mood entries, custom moods, and notes are visible only to you and the partners you're paired with — enforced at the server level, not just in the UI. Sign in with Apple or Google, pair with one invite code, and you're set. Delete everything anytime from Settings. ON YOUR APPLE WATCH Send a mood from your wrist in under three seconds. See your primary partner's latest mood right on your watch face as a complication — a glance is sometimes all you need. Hueband stays in sync between your iPhone and Apple Watch automatically.

COMMON QUESTIONS Do you train AI on our feelings? No. Never. Is Hueband a therapy app? No — Hueband is a consumer wellness product, not a medical device or substitute for professional mental-health care. If you or your partner are in crisis, please contact a qualified professional or local emergency services. Start your first mood ring together — free for 7 days. One tap a day. Fewer arguments. A closer relationship. The couples app you actually want to open. Terms of Use (EULA): https://hueband.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://hueband.app/privacy
