Kōbe helps you become a more thoughtful partner through one small, respectful action each day. Every day, Kōbe offers one practical prompt: listen, show appreciation, reconnect, offer practical care, or repair. Suggestions adapt from your own check-ins and from preferences your partner has openly shared. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Follow one calm daily action • Get in-the-moment Help without typing private details • Save a small Care Plan based only on your partner’s words • Add optional special-days updates for discreet, approximate timing • Review your weekly effort and learning • Use private reminders, widgets, and manual backups BUILT FOR RESPECT Kōbe never scores your partner, diagnoses moods, or treats timing as permission. Your partner’s words and boundaries always come first: ask, don’t assume. PRIVATE BY DESIGN There is no Kōbe account, advertising, analytics SDK, or remote AI service. Relationship notes and check-ins stay on your device. Kōbe is free to use. Kōbe Pro adds unlimited choices, deeper adaptive learning, extended progress, a monthly heads-up, and unlimited personalized Help and Care Plan memories. Kōbe provides general relationship-wellness prompts, not medical, mental-health, or crisis advice. Kōbe Pro is an auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation. It renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it in your Apple ID subscription settings.
