We're here to help

One of you generates an invite code from the dashboard, and the other enters it under "I have a code." Once you're linked, nearly everything becomes shared — calendar, journal, photos, daily and weekly questions, milestones, bucket list, love notes, and more. The one deliberate exception is gift ideas you're saving for your partner, which stay private so the surprise isn't spoiled.

Yes — Braid is built for the two of you, not for solo use. Everything opens up once you're linked, so the first thing you'll do after signing up is create or enter an invite code to connect with your partner.

On the login screen, tap "Forgot password," enter the email you signed up with, and we'll send a reset code. For security, resetting your password signs you out on every device.

Only the two of you. Your journal entries, photos, and answers are private to your linked account — we don't sell your data or show it to anyone else.

Yes — tap the pencil icon on any note you've scheduled that hasn't unlocked yet, to change the message, the unlock date, or whether it's sealed or a surprise. You can also cancel it outright from there, so your partner never sees it — handy if whatever it was tied to didn't end up happening.

Yes — when adding or editing a Timeline entry, tap "Add location" to drop a pin for where it happened, with a map to fine-tune the exact spot. It's entirely optional; tap any entry afterward to see its full details, including the map if one's set.

That date powers the "years, months, days together" count on your dashboard — separate from whenever you happened to link your accounts in the app. You can set or correct it any time from Settings.

One shared timezone for you both, set from Settings — it's what decides when your daily question, journal, and weekly check-in reset for the day. Set it to whichever one makes the most sense for you two.

There are two separate streaks — one for the daily question, one for the journal — and each only counts a day if both of you complete that activity, not just one. They're tracked independently, so keeping up your daily question streak doesn't protect your journal streak, or the other way around. A streak only breaks once a full day passes with either of you missing it — it won't count against you the moment you wake up, so there's no need to rush before your coffee.

Yes — Settings → More Menu, then toggle off anything you don't need. It disappears from your More tab right away. It's just your own view, so it won't change what your partner sees on theirs.

Yes — Settings → Unlink from partner disconnects you both without deleting anything. Your journal, photos, milestones, and everything else stays exactly as it is, and if you two link back up again later, all of it is still there waiting for you.

Settings → Delete account. If you're linked with a partner, this unlinks you both — your partner keeps their account, but you'll no longer be connected. Everything you personally added (journal entries, photos, love notes, all of it) is permanently deleted, not kept — the only thing that survives is content your partner created themselves. If they delete their account too, nothing from your shared history remains.

Braid asks for notification permission once, early on — normally while you're waiting for your partner to join. If you skip it there, you'll get one more chance at the end of onboarding; already said no? Go to Settings and tap "Open Settings" to flip it on in iOS itself.

Yes — iOS is our current focus, with Android on the way.
