Between Us FAQ

Between Us is a private couples app for daily prompts, shared reveals, journals, date planning, Our Story Wall/Keepsake media, memories, signals, and recaps.

Between Us is for thriving couples only. It is not a therapy app, relationship repair tool, crisis service, or substitute for professional support.

Between Us is for adults in relationships who already feel safe and respected and want to deepen connection.

It is not appropriate for couples navigating abuse, coercion, serious trust breakdowns, active crisis, or separation decisions. If your relationship needs professional support, please contact a qualified therapist, counselor, attorney, emergency service, or local support organization.

Yes. Between Us is designed to be inclusive of adults across orientations, identities, relationship structures, cultures, and relationship lengths. The app does not require you to provide sexual orientation as an account field.

• Free version: users start with 20 prompts, 20 date ideas, and 5 intimacy positions, then receive 5 more prompts, 5 more date ideas, and 1 more intimacy position each personal week. Free weekly picks stay in the lower-intensity range. Calendar, journal, partner linking, heartbeat/sync, supported data export, and one-month-at-a-time Keepsake history are included.
• Premium Monthly: fallback display price $7.99/month.
• Premium Yearly: fallback display price $49.99/year.

Actual prices, trials, offers, taxes, and currency are shown by the App Store or RevenueCat purchase flow and may vary by region or store configuration.

1. Create your account.
2. Add your names and preferences.
3. Link with your partner, if you want the shared experience.
4. Answer prompts, plan dates, and save moments.

No. You can use Between Us solo for prompts, notes, journaling, reflection, and date ideas. Linking with a partner unlocks the shared reveal and couple-space experience.

1. Both partners create accounts.
2. One partner generates an invite code or QR code.
3. The other partner scans the QR code or enters the code.
4. Both accounts are linked into one couple space.

Yes. Either partner can unlink. Unlinking dissolves the shared couple connection, stops future shared syncing, and leaves your separate account in place. Historical shared content may remain until deleted or until a cleanup process applies.

Not at the same time. Between Us currently supports one linked partner at a time.

Between Us protects data with account authentication, Supabase row-level security, HTTPS/TLS, provider-side security controls, app access controls, and optional app lock on your device. We do not sell your personal data and do not use advertising networks.

No. The active storage architecture does not currently provide end-to-end encryption for core synced content. Journals, prompt answers, memories, check-ins, vibes, calendar events, date plans, and media attachments are protected by account access controls and transport security, but they are not currently encrypted end-to-end before upload.

Journal entries are not currently end-to-end encrypted. We restrict access through authentication, row-level security, internal access controls, and service-provider protections, but we cannot accurately claim that our systems are technically unable to access core synced content.

Between Us is built around shared couple-space content. Your linked partner may be able to access content stored in that shared couple space according to the feature flow. Prompt answers are designed to reveal through the shared reveal experience. App-lock settings, payment info, password credentials, and biometric data are not shared with your partner.

You can unlink from your partner. Unlinking dissolves the shared couple connection and stops future shared syncing. You can also delete your account if you want your account and supported data removed according to the deletion flow.

No. Face ID and Touch ID are handled by your device. Between Us receives only a success/failure result from the device authentication prompt and does not collect, store, or transmit biometric templates.

Some data is cached on your device, such as cached synced content, offline write queues, notification ids, app-lock enabled state, and cache-only preference history. Some settings, including energy level, relationship climate, and soft boundaries, may also sync to your profile so they can be restored across devices.

Between Us uses Supabase for authentication, database, storage, backend functions, and realtime features; RevenueCat for subscriptions; Sentry for crash reporting, performance monitoring, limited session replay, and optional feedback; Expo for notifications and app services; and Apple for App Store distribution and payment processing.

The app may use relationship duration, heat level, energy level, relationship climate, soft boundaries, prompt engagement, and local preference signals to shape recommendations. Some personalization happens locally and some synced preferences may be stored in your profile for continuity.

Vibe Signals and Moment Signals are quick ways to share mood, presence, or "thinking of you" moments with your linked partner when connectivity allows.

Reveal Together is the flow where partners answer and then reveal prompt responses in a shared moment.

Soft Boundaries let you hide or pause content categories you do not want to see. They are designed as your own content controls. Some related settings may sync to your profile for backup or cross-device continuity.

Energy Matcher lets you set a current energy level so the app can suggest prompts and dates that better match the moment.

The Inside Jokes vault is a place to save relationship language, nicknames, references, and special phrases. Some inside-joke data may be local to the device depending on the feature path.

Year Reflection and recap features summarize relationship moments from supported app data such as journals, dates, memories, answers, and signals.

Surprise Today suggests spontaneous date or connection ideas based on available preferences and context.

The current content catalog includes 731 prompts across 5 heat levels and 13 prompt categories.

Prompts are designed to be inclusive and respectful, but not every prompt will fit every relationship or moment. Use heat levels, skipping, and soft boundaries to stay within your comfort level.

Yes. Send suggestions to hello@brittanyapps.com.

The app tries to reduce repetition through prompt selection, history, and personalization. Repeats may still happen, especially if you use a narrow heat level or content filter.

No. Between Us is not therapy, counseling, medical care, legal advice, crisis support, or relationship repair.

Do not rely on Between Us for serious relationship concerns, abuse, coercion, threats, infidelity recovery, separation decisions, or crisis situations. Seek qualified help.

Skip the prompt, lower the heat level, use soft boundaries, take a break, and seek professional support if needed.

Unlink from your partner if it is safe to do so, contact support, and reach out to appropriate safety resources. If you are in immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

Between Us supports offline continuity for some actions through local cache and an offline write queue. Supabase is the canonical source of truth when online. Pending local writes sync when connectivity and account state allow.
