Built for partnership, not surveillance

A relationship tool should create room for consent, not a new way to inspect another person. Couples Quest is designed around partnership, personal reflection, and deliberate sharing.

Reflect, understand, choose one next step

Connection is not monitoring

Connection invites participation. Monitoring looks for proof, patterns, or leverage without equal consent. A partner should never be asked to hand over a diary, assessment answers, or private AI Companion conversations to demonstrate commitment.

Private and shared areas

Private reflections remain private by default. Partner linking is optional, and linking does not create unrestricted access to another person’s content. Shared activities should make their privacy boundaries clear before anyone begins.

Practical boundaries

Use the app to notice your own reactions, practise a conversation, or choose a shared activity—not to test a partner, shame them, track their location, or build a case against them. Sponsors, employers, and programme partners should not receive private diary entries, individual assessment answers, or private AI conversations.

When shared work is not safe

Active violence, coercive control, stalking, or immediate danger changes the situation. Do not use joint exercises to negotiate safety or pressure someone into linking accounts. Move to appropriate professional, specialist, or emergency support instead.

Try this

Before sharing anything, ask: Is this voluntary? Is the purpose clear? Can either person pause without penalty?
