Say how you feel, without saying a word

HalfHeart is a free couples app that gives you and your partner one shared heart. Pull your half away when you need space, change its colour to show how you feel, and send roses to bring each other back.

Free · No ads · Nothing to buy · Just the two of you

Why HalfHeart

Some days you feel close. Some days you need a little space.

“I’m fine” when you’re not. Going quiet and hoping they notice. Saying sorry and not knowing if they’re still upset. HalfHeart gives the feelings that are hard to say a shape you can both see.

  • Say it without a fight

    Pull your half away and your partner reads “Sam is upset”, never “Sam is angry at you”. The message lands softly, so it doesn’t start a new argument.

  • Take space without disappearing

    Ask for a little room, or lock your half for a few hours. Your partner knows you need time, and when you’ll be ready, instead of guessing.

  • Make up faster

    A rose from your partner takes hours off a lock, or opens it straight away. Saying sorry becomes a small, sweet gesture.

  • Know how they feel at a glance

    Blue for missing you, gold for proud of you, silver for a low day that isn’t about you. One look tells you, wherever they are.

  • Remember the good, not the fights

    Your timeline keeps “Made up after 9 hours”, your anniversaries and your plans. What a fight was about is never recorded.

  • Private, just for two

    Pair with one partner using a private code. No ads, no tracking, no feed and nobody else watching.

Pull your half away and see what happens

This is how the heart works in the app. You’re Sam, and Alex is your partner. Drag your half to the left, let go, and watch what Alex sees.

Inside the app

Everything you need to feel close, nothing you don’t

No chat to keep up with and no feed to scroll. Just a shared heart, a garden of roses and the story of the two of you.

Choosing the Missing you colour: the left half of the heart glows blue

Colour

Show how you feel in one swipe

Swipe your half up and five candy colours fan out. Slide to one and let go. Your partner sees it straight away, with a gentle nudge on what might help.

Distance

Ask for space, without the silent treatment

Drag your half away to show how much room you need. The further you pull, the longer it stays apart. Nothing is sent until you let go, and you get 5 seconds to undo.

Locks are fixed: not even you can come back early. Only time, or a rose from your partner, opens them.

The 3D garden at night: rose beds, an arbour and a glass cloche, each with a timer until the next rose blooms

Roses & garden

Bring each other back with roses

Roses grow in your own moonlit 3D garden. Pick one and send it to your partner, and it takes time off their lock. The garden glows with lanterns and fireflies while your heart is whole, and frosts over while a half is locked.

Timeline

Keep your story, not your fights

  • Both of you can add, edit or delete any moment
  • Anniversaries and birthdays repeat every year
  • Coming back from a lock adds “Made up after 9 hours”, never the reason
More about the timeline
The heart whole again, glowing ruby, with white, yellow, red and pink roses floating around it

Sound & touch

When you’re whole again, you’ll feel it

When a half comes home, the heart pops back together with a juicy pop, a chime, a burst of hearts and a lub-dub heartbeat you can feel in your hand.

  • Tap the heart to make it wobble like jelly; rest a finger on it to feel it beat
  • Tap a floating rose to send it straight to your partner
  • Mute sounds with one button, and “reduce motion” keeps the heart calm

How it works

Paired in under a minute

HalfHeart is for exactly two people. No public profile, no groups, no strangers.

  1. 1

    Get the app, both of you

    Sign up with Google, or with an email and password. Your partner does the same on their phone.

  2. 2

    Pair with a private code

    One of you taps Generate Code and shares the 6 characters. The other enters it. It works once, for 24 hours.

  3. 3

    Share one heart

    Pull apart, change colours, send roses and build your story together, one half each.

Who it’s for

Made for couples who want to feel close

  • Long-distance couples

    Feel each other’s mood across time zones, send a rose every day and count down to the next visit.

    HalfHeart for long-distance couples
  • Busy couples

    Miss each other during the day? Turn your half blue and they’ll know, without a single message.

  • Better at showing than saying

    If “I’m hurt” or “I need space” is hard to say out loud, let your half of the heart say it for you.

Private by design

What happens in your heart stays between the two of you. HalfHeart is built to collect only what it needs to work.

Questions couples ask

Is HalfHeart free?

Yes. HalfHeart is free, with no ads, no subscription and no in-app purchases.

Is HalfHeart available on Android and iPhone?

HalfHeart launches on Android first, and the Android beta is open now. The iPhone version is coming soon.

Do both partners need the app?

Yes. Both of you need HalfHeart and your own account. You can sign up with Google or with an email and password.

Can I take my half back early?

Only in the first 5 seconds. A new lock waits 5 seconds with an Undo button before your partner hears about it. After that the lock is fixed: not even you can come back early. Only time, or a rose from your partner, opens it.

Does HalfHeart record what we argued about?

No. HalfHeart never records what a fight was about. When a half comes back from a lock, your timeline gets a moment like “Made up after 9 hours”, and that’s all.

Is HalfHeart private?

Yes. You pair with one partner using a private code, and nobody else can see your heart. HalfHeart has no ads, no tracking and no analytics, and your data is encrypted in transit and never sold.
