Love Countdown

Features
Read full description

A love countdown for the one promise you never want to forget. Most couple counters stop at "347 days together." Aeon starts a countdown that outlives both of you: 129,600 years, the length of one full cosmic Cycle described by Song-dynasty philosopher Shao Yong. You write two names, the exact moment you made the promise, a note and a photo — and the seconds start falling. Not a novelty timer. A quiet, star-lit place you come back to when you need proof that the promise is still running. WHAT YOU GET - A living countdown to your reunion, ticking every second in years, days, hours, minutes and seconds - Your promise kept whole: both names, the exact moment it was made, a personal note and a shared photo - A cosmic clock that shows where this instant sits in the great Cycle — Epoch, Era, Age, and how far the wheel has already turned - A daily contemplation on time, return and reunion, so the promise gets a moment of your attention every day - A private journal for the thoughts you want the next turn of the cycle to find - A one-tap share card so the person you promised sees the same number you do PERFECT FOR - Couples in long distance who need something bigger than a flight date to count toward - Anyone keeping a promise to someone they cannot reach right now - People who journal at night and want a calmer, slower place to do it - Readers drawn to cyclical time, Eastern cosmology and the idea that nothing is truly lost WHY NOT JUST USE A NOTES APP OR A DATE CALCULATOR? Because a note does not move. A date calculator hands you a number and forgets you. Aeon keeps the promise alive on screen — seconds visibly falling, the cosmic ring turning, a new line of reflection each day — so opening the app feels like returning to the promise instead of looking it up. PRIVACY Everything stays on your iPhone. Your names, your note, your photo and every journal entry are stored on the device only. No account, no sign-up, no cloud upload, no ads, no tracking. FULL ACCESS Aeon is unlocked by a single purchase. Full access opens the whole app: the eternal promise countdown, the photo and note keepsake, the cosmic clock and cycle converter, the daily contemplations and the private journal. Pick the plan that fits — weekly, yearly, or a one-time lifetime purchase that never renews. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. Write the two names, choose the moment, and watch the first second fall.

About

Amaré

Features
Read full description

Amaré is the app for a couple to grow together in love and in faith. Five minutes a day, for two. EVERY DAY, A QUESTION THAT OPENS TOGETHER A verse and a question chosen for your stage: dating, engaged, married or parents. Each of you answers on your own, and neither can read the other's answer until you have both answered. The app is not merely hiding it: the server does not hand it over before then. When both answers open at once, the conversation starts. "I PRAYED FOR YOU", IN ONE TAP Share what you carry in your heart. One tap tells your partner you just prayed for it. What God answers is kept as a testimony of you both. A STREAK THAT FORGIVES It counts the days you walk together. If one day you cannot, you do not lose what you built: the streak carries on with grace, without guilt. TO KNOW EACH OTHER BETTER A weekly quiz, "How well do you know me?": each answers for themselves and guesses the other, and the result opens when you both finish. Quick games: "Which of us?" and "Would you rather?", with cards you swipe. Brave conversations about money, family, children and faith, with a prayer to close. Couple quizzes: how you receive love, and how you draw close to God. SEVEN-DAY CHALLENGES Challenges to do together: one proposes, the other accepts. Seven days within ten, so real life fits. Seasonal ones too, for Advent and Holy Week. YOUR STORY, KEPT Everything you reveal to each other stays in "Our story". If you both turn it on, Amaré can write you a summary of your month, once a month. THREE LANGUAGES, ONE CONVERSATION Each of you reads in your own language, Spanish, English or Portuguese, in the same thread. The Bible version is chosen per person too. YOUR INTIMACY IS NOT OUR BUSINESS We do not sell data and we show no ads. What you write is seen by the two of you. You can delete your account and everything you wrote from the app, whenever you want. ONE SUBSCRIPTION, TWO ACCOUNTS One of you activates it and you are both covered, whoever pays. It starts with a free trial; if you do not cancel before it ends, it becomes a subscription. It renews on its own until you cancel it in your App Store account settings. Amaré does not replace pastoral counseling or couples therapy. Privacy policy: https://amare-app.com/en/privacy Terms of use: https://amare-app.com/en/terms
