Wake up to love. Each day, you get 3 new questions about your partner. Pick one. Type your answer. It takes about a minute. Your partner gets it the next day, at the time you pick, like 7 AM. And they can send one to you. Every word is yours. We give you the question. You say the rest. WHY I MADE IT I was REALLY bad at this. My girlfriend kept asking for words of affirmation, and I really struggled to give them to her. So I built an app to help me: one answer a day, and one message she wakes up to. Now she's my wife, and we've been married for a year. I've gotten so much better at supporting her love language by using my very own app. I tell her what I love about her in a new way every day. I hope you enjoy giving and receiving love as much as I do, and I hope this app helps you do it more often. Jason, Founder of Good Morning WHAT YOU GET • 3 new questions each day. One is about the two of you. One is about what you are thankful for. One is about your partner. • You both get the same 3, so you can answer the same thing. • Or skip them and write your own. • See sample answers, so you are never stuck. • One message a day. It stays special. • It comes on their clock. Pick 7 AM or 4 PM. Pick a surprise time from 8 AM to 8 PM. Or pick your own time. It is always in their time zone. • Changed your mind? Edit or unsend it until midnight on the day you write it. • Rainy Day Notes: write one ahead of time. We send it for you on a day you miss. • Build a streak together. • Climb the streak ranks, or keep it to yourselves. HOW TO START 1. Pick a username. Use the name your partner calls you. 2. Pick when your messages show up. 3. Link up with their username, or send them a link. You can write your first message while you wait. It goes out the day after they join. JUST THE TWO OF YOU No ads, ever. We do not ask for your phone number. Delete your account and your messages go with it. PRICE Your first 10 messages are free. Then it is $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year. One plan covers you both. Reading your partner's messages is always free. Your plan renews on its own. Stop it any time in your App Store settings. Start today. Say the real stuff. Terms of Use: https://goodmorningnotes.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://goodmorningnotes.app/privacy
