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.

Log

Log is a private journal for your dating life. Every person you date gets a log: photos, ratings, green and red flags, the stories worth keeping, and every date you've been on together. Nothing leaves your phone. No account, no cloud, no sign-up โ€” just your journal, behind Face ID. KEEP A LOG FOR EVERYONE Photos, nationality, job, city, the vibe in one line. Rate what actually matters โ€” Orgasmeter, Kissing, Husband material, Communication โ€” and Log works out one honest overall score. FLAGS, STORIES, EVERYTHING Tap once for a green flag, twice for red, or write your own. Keep how you met, the memorable moments, and the comments you'd never say out loud. A DIARY FOR EVERY DATE Log each date with a rating, notes and photos from that night. See it all in a calendar, and edit any entry whenever you remember more. YOUR MAP Add a city and it lands on the map automatically. See where your love life actually happened, and how far it has travelled. STATS YOU'D NEVER KEEP YOURSELF Podium, dates per month, achievements, and the numbers nobody writes down. LOG WRAPPED Your year in review, story by story. Best overall, best kisser, and the red flag you keep collecting. HEAD TO HEAD Compare two logs across every metric and get a verdict. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything is stored on this device only. Face ID on open, auto-lock when you switch apps. The only thing Log ever sends anywhere is a city name, to place your pin on the map. LOG PRO โ€” one-time purchase Free: 3 logs, map, search, all core editing. Pro: unlimited logs, Log Wrapped, Head to head compare, encrypted backup & export. Pay once, keep it forever. And yes โ€” the price is on purpose.

Verdict

The call

Patterns and Log are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters โ€” price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them โ€” neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
