Tether
The thread between
you is alive.
A two-person app for couples living apart. Instead of more chat, it gives each pair a slow, ritual-based emotional language — daily pulses, memory beads, delayed whispers, and a shared Starling that grows from showing up.
What it is
Not chat. Not a calendar.
The relationship itself.
The Thread
A live thread on a 3D globe between your two cities. Five visual states — glowing, steady, stretched, frayed, knotted — reflecting the relationship right now.
Daily Pulse
A long-press inside a shared window. They feel it on the other side. Shared streaks, not personal streaks.
Memory Beads
Photo, voice, text, or milestone — strung along the thread. A timeline that belongs to both of you.
Whispers & capsules
Messages that unlock on a date, a place, an event, or after the Nth pulse. Slow letters for the long game.
Same Sky
What you both see right now — moon phase, weather, sunrise / sunset. A small daily proof you share a sky.
Your Starling
A shared mascot, born at a 30-day streak. Five evolution stages from Spark to Nova. Grows when you both show up.
Conflict & Repair
A “we need to talk” tag, a Knot marker, two-step repair prompts, and an “I need space” cooldown. So fights don’t vanish into chat.
Reunion mode
Distance ring, countdown, hype mode, a plan-together checklist, and a quiet after-meet retrospective.
