Stay connected through the busiest days. Each of you gets a battery, built on a love-language test and Ember — an assistant that learns what kind of love actually reaches your partner, and helps you keep speaking it.
Coming soon to Android and iOS.
Sam has not checked in today. Sleep has been low all week.
Most relationship apps hand you a personality result and leave. Charged tells you how the other person is right now — which is the thing you actually needed to know before you asked at the wrong moment.
The battery is built from six needs. Tap it and you see which one is dragging, so “are you okay?” can become something more useful.
Log what you did and Ember measures whether their battery moved. Suggestions get ranked by what has worked on them, not on people in general.
Ember asks how you are in your own words, works out what moved, and quotes the part of what you said that justified each change.
Every level comes with its source attached: their own word, an estimate with a stated margin, or nothing at all. It will not invent something about a person.
A battery is one number. These are the six things underneath it, and any of them can be the one that is actually low.
Three of these are the basic psychological needs from Self-Determination Theory, the best-validated needs model there is. Stability carries attachment. Sleep and Body carry the physical half, which has the cleanest evidence of anything here — a lot of bad evenings are a sleep debt wearing a costume.
Ember is the relationship coach built into Charged, and its whole job is keeping the flame strong. Open the app and it asks what has been going on. You answer in your own words — a sentence, a paragraph, a bad day described badly. It works out what moved and shows you, before anything changes.
Ember
Anything you want to catch me up on?
Third night this week I've been up past two. Work's fine, I just can't switch off.
Suggested changes
“up past two”, three nights running
“can't switch off”
Nothing moves until you say so. Every suggestion quotes the words that justified it, and you can drop any of them — including all of them.
What you write is never shown to your partner. They see that your sleep is low. They do not see the sentence you wrote about it.
If something you write suggests a crisis, it drops everything else and shows you help. No adjustments, no battery change, no product noise over the top.
Ember is a good listener and a fast first draft. It is not a therapist, and it does not pretend to know you better than you do — you are always the authority on your own state.
Ten questions a week. You each answer for yourself, then take a quiz on each other's answers — three options, only one of them real.
You write your own answer before either of you can be quizzed on it — nothing to peek at, nothing to copy.
Ember writes two plausible wrong answers alongside the real one, so getting it right actually means something.
Favorites, habits, memories, values, and the small quirks only a partner would know — a different mix each week.
This app holds information about your emotional state. That deserves stating up front rather than burying in a policy.
Anything you write in a check-in is never shown to your partner, in any sharing mode. They see how you are, not what you said about it.
Everything, just the number, or nothing. Enforced in the database rather than hidden in the app, so no version of the app can route around it.
The full version carries no ads, full stop. The free version may show ads to help keep it free — but nothing you write in a check-in is ever sold, or used to target one, in either version.
Safety features — crisis detection and every helpline — are free forever, including on a cancelled account. A crisis line behind a payment wall would not have been worth building.
Whoever pays, the other never sees a payment screen. Charging the second person to take part in something the first already pays for is a toll gate on the half of the couple that is hardest to keep.
Charged isn't live yet. A small group is trying it early and telling me what's broken or confusing before it ships for real — if that's you, pick your phone below.
