Patterns

Track how people make you feel. Keep the receipts. Notice the pattern. Patterns is a private relationship tracker and mood journal for understanding the connections in your life. Add a partner, date, friend, family member, or coworker, then record how each interaction leaves you feeling over time. QUICK EMOTIONAL CHECK-INS Log a feeling, choose its intensity, and add a note when context matters. A few seconds is enough to build an honest record you can return to later. KEEP THE RECEIPTS Save specific moments as green flags or red flags so important behavior does not get blurred by time. Add a title, private note, and optional photo or screenshot to remember what actually happened. SEE THE PATTERN Review relationship timelines, recurring feelings, flag totals, and 30-day trends. Notice which connections feel supportive, draining, calm, confusing, or mixed. MADE FOR EVERY RELATIONSHIP Patterns is not just a couples app. Use it for dating, friendships, family dynamics, work relationships, or any person whose behavior affects your wellbeing. Reflect on boundaries, positive signs, and difficult patterns without forcing everything into a single diary. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account is required. Names, check-ins, notes, and receipt attachments stay locally on your device, giving you a calm space to be honest with yourself.

Should I keep seeing them? Dating can make it hard to hold onto the whole picture. A great night can overshadow a canceled plan. A disappointing moment can overshadow real effort. Reluma keeps what happened in view. Tell Reluma about a conversation, a promise, an apology, or a moment that stayed with you. Keep it in your own words, alongside the other moments with that person. When something else happens, add it to the same record. Revisit what they said, what they did, and what changed—with the earlier moments still there. • Record what happened, in your own words • Compare promises with the actions you’ve recorded • See what changed over time with one person • Keep what you want from the relationship in view • Return to moments saved to your account Reluma doesn’t tell you to stay or leave. It helps you look at the record, so your next decision can include more than the latest moment. Should I keep seeing them? Start with what happened.
