Cord — A space for the two of you to grow together

Their first weeks, start to finish

What Cord actually looks like in a marriage.

Genesis and Hope are expecting their first. One ordinary stretch of weeks — turn the page.

Sunday, 8:29pm

Genesis nearly skipped it.

Sunday at half past eight was their choice, not the app's. Hope was fourteen weeks in and asleep by nine most nights. The phone buzzed once, the way they had asked it to.

The Cord home screen with the countdown to this week's check-in.

The next four minutes

They answered apart, on purpose.

Hope answered first, then handed the phone over. Neither saw a word of the other's until both had finished — no preview, no hint.

“Her answers are hidden until you finish yours.”Cord, on the home screen

The check-in flow, answering one area at a time.

Then it opened

One number was two points apart.

Relationship, close. Spiritual, close. Intimacy: he put 7, she put 5. Since the pregnancy neither had known how to raise it, so neither had. Cord named it for them.

Sunday, 8:47pm

They prayed about it instead of circling it.

Twelve minutes, because nobody had to be the one who started. Hope added it to the prayer space and marked it shared.

Tuesday

The baby moved the budget before it moved in.

The hospital estimate arrived. They opened Money together and made a fund for the delivery. Cord noted groceries were running hot; they talked about it that evening.

“Observations to talk over, never verdicts.”What the Money screen is for

The Money screen with monthly totals and trends.

Wednesday

Genesis asked the husbands' room.

The question he did not want to ask in front of Hope. Two men eighteen months ahead of him answered that night. Hope asked hers in the wives' room.

Saturday

They started the page before the baby arrived.

A profile for someone not here yet: the due date, the scan photos. The vault took the obstetrician's number and where the hospital bag lives.

The travel map, showing everywhere the couple has been.

Four Sundays later

The streak bought them coffee.

Four weeks in a row, and one more would make the coffees theirs. Then they missed week six — a scan, a deadline. Cord kept what they had earned and counted on.

“Life happens. Coming back is what builds the marriage.”What Cord says when you miss a week

The rewards ladder, showing what the check-in streak is worth.

That is the whole of it.

Four minutes on a Sunday, and six days that quietly run on what the two of you decided.

What the two of you get

Six things that change in the first month.

Not features. Differences you would notice.

You stop guessing.

You find out how the week actually landed for your spouse — not the answer they would give with you watching.

The hard thing gets named.

Cord points at the one area you are furthest apart on, so the conversation starts where it matters.

Small gaps stay small.

A two-point difference this week is a conversation. Left for six months it is a pattern.

The date actually happens.

A rhythm you set, an honest count of how long it has really been, and a plan on the shared calendar.

You are not doing it alone.

A circle of couples who know you, with a room for the husbands and a room for the wives.

Coming back is easy.

Miss a week and Cord says life happens. No broken-streak red, and nothing is ever deleted.

How a week goes

Four honest minutes, then six ordinary days.

The time is small on purpose. What the week does with it is the point.

Sunday, 8:30pm

Cord counts down

You picked the night. One reminder, not a stream of them.

Four minutes

You answer alone

Six areas of your marriage, a slider and a sentence each.

The wait

Nothing opens early

Neither of you sees a word until you have both finished.

The unlock

The week opens

Both sets land side by side, and one card names what to talk about first.

The other six days

It carries what you decided

The date, the prayer, the budget — the rest of the app holds them.

What each part does

Home and Us, and the parts you choose.

Every couple has Home and Us. When you start, you pick two or three of Faith, Family, Plans and Circles, and the rest stay out of your way until you switch them on. Here is what each part is for, and the decision behind it.

Settings in Cord: Home and Us are always on, and each other area switches on or off.

The one honest hour, protected.

Six areas, answered alone on the night you chose. Nothing opens until you have both finished.

Who it is for

Marriages in the ordinary middle.

Not crisis counselling, not a honeymoon toy. For the long stretch where nothing is wrong, exactly, and nobody has asked in a while.

The everyday couple

Two people, one busy week

You still love each other, and you still have not talked properly since Tuesday. Cord puts the question on the calendar so it stops depending on who remembers.

Newly married

Building the habit early

The first years set the pattern. Learn a shared vocabulary for how the marriage is doing, long before you need one for something hard.

Circle leaders

Couples who walk with couples

Small-group and marriage-ministry leaders get private circles: an invite code, separate husbands' and wives' rooms, one-to-one accountability threads, and a simple 1–10 read on every couple so you can see who to follow up with this week.

“Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend.”

Proverbs 27:17 · World English Bible

Privacy is not a setting

We run the server. We still cannot read a word.

Every row leaves your phone already encrypted, under a key that belongs to your marriage and is never sent to us. Whoever operates the database — us included — can read every row we store and learn nothing from it. That is a fact about how it is built, not a promise about how we behave.

Your key is locked under your password, and under a recovery code you write down once. There is no reset — because a reset we could perform is a door we could be compelled to open.

How that actually works

What never leaves the device

Every check-in answer, sealed and revealed

Your prayers, journal and conflict log

The household vault and its attachments

Every figure in Money, down to the receipt

One-to-one circle threads — not even your spouse

How it is paid for

Free to keep your marriage strong.

The part that actually keeps a marriage strong costs nothing, and always will. The subscription pays for storage and the rest.

The check-in and Faith are free, for good.

Not a trial on them. The weekly question, the reveal, the Scripture and the prayer never expire and never lock, because they are what Cord is for.

Seven weeks of everything to start.

Every marriage begins with all of Cord and 500 MB, free for seven weeks. No card to begin, and nothing switches off on you without warning.

₱149 a person, ₱298 for the two of you.

Monthly, once you want the rest back: storage without a limit and every other part of the app. Cancel any time. No advertising, ever, and nothing sold about your marriage.

What the money is for. Storage without a limit — your photographs, journals and the years of it, held encrypted — and the servers that keep them. Cord is a ministry project, made for the Lord and for married couples, so the price is what it costs to keep running, not what it could fetch.

When the free weeks end, nothing is lost. Everything already written stays readable, and nothing is ever deleted. The check-in and Faith keep saving. The rest waits, and picks up exactly where it was.

Cord is not in the App Store yet. It is being prepared for release. The eight-step walkthrough is the real app, screen by screen.

Why we made this

We are not trying to improve your marriage.
We are trying to get the two of you back in the same room, once a week, telling each other the truth.

Built by a husband for his wife, and then for the couples around them — a habit we needed ourselves, written down so it would keep happening on the weeks we were tired.

So it is deliberately small: four minutes, the honesty protected while it happens, then out of your way. A good week is the one where you close it early and go find each other.

A ministry project before anything else — made for the Lord, and for marriages meant to last.

A space for the two of you to grow together.
