Today
Two sliders, ten seconds: how full your day feels, how close you feel. When both halves are in, a shared tone for the day appears — and a suggestion that fits it.
Relationship companion for couples
Kintso is not a coach.
It is a room.
A daily look together, guided conversations and small rituals — making visible what lives between you.
- no streaks
- start on your own
- servers in the EU
- no ad business model
What Kintso is for
Between “we’re fine” and “we need therapy” there is nothing.
Kintso is that place — for couples with nothing to repair, who notice they are drifting apart.
Four rooms
Not more tasks. Less distance.
Connect
Graded by what you have room for: a wordless sign, a question of the day, a guided conversation, an evening just for the two of you.
Anchor
Your own ground — with or without a partner. A journal that stays with you, a shared pause when it gets to be too much, and a quiet route to professional help.
Garden
What you practise grows where you can see it. Practices you plant yourselves, and blooms for the moments that count.
Every day
Ten seconds. Two sliders.
Each of you on your own, without seeing the other. Only once both halves are in does a shared tone appear — and that is something other than two opinions side by side.
You
How full was your day
How close do you feel
Your partner
How full was your day
How close do you feel
Your tone for the day
It appears only once both halves are in.
Without words
Sometimes a sign is enough.
No text, no question, no answer. A thread travels from you to your partner and fades again — that is all it is, and often all it needs to be.
Another example
Two answers that cannot see each other.
You both get the same question and answer it on your own. Nothing is revealed until both are in — until then you see nothing.

One example
Listening before answering.
In an Echo dialogue, one of you writes. The other reads — later, when there is time — and first gives back what landed. Only then is it their turn.
- One When you reach for your phone the moment you get home, I feel invisible.
- later that evening
- The other What I hear: you feel overlooked when I arrive and am not really there.
- the next morning
- One Yes. Exactly that.
Once a week
By Friday morning you already know what you need.
No planning, no negotiating, no “so what shall we do”. At nine the evening comes to you — together with the one line everything else founders on: what to pick up on the way home.

The evening with closed eyes

- Agree on a word that stops everything at once.
- Ten minutes of leading, without speaking.
- Swap, if you both want to.
Which was easier — leading or being led?
When it gets too much
A pause that holds for both.
One of you holds the button. Both screens go quiet — no more typing, no last word. Just a breath and a time running down.

Over time
A garden bed, not a tally.
You choose what fits the two of you and plant it. Once you have lived it, you say so — each of you separately, whenever you like. On the first of the month the bed stands open again: nothing carries over, nothing breaks off.

Where the name comes from
In Japan, broken bowls are mended with gold. The seam is not hidden — it becomes the most beautiful part of the piece. Kintsugi is the name of that craft. A relationship that has come through something is not the one where nothing ever broke.
What we stand behind
A quiet place has rules.
- No race. No streaks, no points, no reminder designed to make you feel behind. Use it when it serves you.
- No advertising, nothing sold on. Kintso is funded by a subscription, not by your data.
- The server sits in the European Union — and therefore under European data protection law. What you write is encrypted on your device and access-restricted on our servers — every couple sees only their own.
- The AI companion is optional and needs both of you to say yes. It sees monthly figures, never your words. You can switch it off again at any time.
What goes where, without softening, is in the privacy policy.
Common questions
What people want to know first.
Do we both need the app?
For the shared parts, yes — the daily look only becomes a tone once both halves are in, and an Echo dialogue needs someone to answer. A good deal works alone, though: the journal, the anchor, the daily reflections.
How do we start?
One of you downloads the app, creates an account and receives an invitation code. The other enters it, and you are connected. That is all — no questionnaire, no assessment.
What does Kintso cost?
There is a free part and a subscription — Kintso Plus. Free are the daily look, the anchor, the journal, the daily reflections and 123 of the 385 questions. All 35 practices are readable; 30 of them can also be planted. The subscription holds the remaining questions, the evenings for two, the chronicle and the AI companion. We will name the price once it is settled — a number we would still change helps nobody.
Does my partner see everything I write?
No. What you write in the journal stays with you — not as a promise, but as an access rule on the server. What gets shared is what you share: an answer in an Echo dialogue, a check-in, a Kintsugi moment.
Which devices does Kintso run on?
iPhone and Android. A browser version is not planned — a room for two belongs in your hand, not in a tab next to work.
What happens if we separate?
The connection is dissolved, and the shared part ends with it. An archive of your time together stays reachable for thirty days; after that, access falls away. What was yours alone stays yours.
What goes where is set out in the privacy policy — without softening.
When more is needed
If you go to couples therapy, you do not arrive empty-handed.
Sometimes the quiet place is not enough. Then you can take a sheet with you from Kintso — shared ground for the first session. Kintso does not suggest this and measures nothing towards it: you decide when the time has come, and you put together yourselves what comes along.
Kintso — Shared ground
For a first session. Created with the consent of both partners.
- How you hold conflict Self-assessment from calm questions in the app. Not a diagnosis and not a test result.
- The questionnaire behind it The questions with the answers chosen. Included by personal request.
- Cards you selected Only the ones you both tapped.
- It only comes into being if you both agree.
- Questions about tenderness and intimacy are not offered here.
- Until it exists, either of you can withdraw the request.
- If anything fails, nothing is created.
And what Kintso is not
Kintso accompanies you in everyday life, not in an emergency. It is not a medical device, not therapy and not a substitute for professional advice.
If things become acute, please reach a crisis line or emergency services. Where to find one: findahelpline.com — the line for your own country, in more than 130 countries.
Kintso is inspired by the principles of evidence-based relationship research (including CBT, the work of the Gottman Institute, and Imago Therapy). Kintso is not a medical device and has no official affiliation with these institutes.
Soon
Kintso is a place for two. Until then it is yours.
The app is coming to iPhone and Android. If you are here because you are waiting for it — write to us, and we will get back to you.
