The knot, counted
A single number, set once. Days, weeks, months, years — long-press to switch. Lives on the lock screen, the home screen, your Watch.
NEW · ANNIVERSARY UPDATE 2.4
A small thing,
kept well.
DateKnot is a couples app for iPhone that counts the days together, remembers every anniversary, keeps a shared journal, and quietly suggests gifts, date nights, and the right words with on-device AI — on both your phones.

01 · WHAT IT DOES
Nine small things, done with care.
DateKnot is not a productivity app. It does fewer things than you'd expect, and each one tries to disappear once it's served you.
AI gifts that sound like you
It knows what you've given before, what they've mentioned in passing, what fits the budget. Three ideas a week, never more.
Mood, in twelve flavors
Tap an emoji and a one-line note. They see it land, with a soft haptic. No metrics, no streaks — just a small hello.
Two phones, one timeline
CloudKit between you, end-to-end. Every date, every milestone, every photo — synced in seconds, gone if either of you taps delete.
Date nights, quietly suggested
Friday at noon, a nudge: three places near both of you, open at the right time, in your shared price range. Tap one and the reservation is held.
Anniversary remembers itself
Five years comes around. The app already knows. A gentle reminder, a card you can sign, a count-up that turns the page on its own. Dynamic Island lights up 24 hours before.
A shared journal, kept private
Photos, a line or two, a mood tag. Each entry sits on a quiet timeline only the two of you see. Grouped by month, searchable by feeling.
A coach, when words are hard
Ask for the right thing to say after a long week, or a soft draft of a love note. Runs through Claude with no persistent memory between asks — the prompt never leaves the moment.
Love notes, delivered slow
Write a line. They get it on their lock screen with a soft haptic. An inbox that never demands a reply — just lands, waits, glows back when read.
02 · A CLOSER LOOK
One screen, considered for two.
The HomeView is where you'll spend ninety percent of your time in DateKnot. Here's every piece of it.
DETAIL
The streak, kept light
A pill, not a guilt-trip. The number reminds you it's there; it never asks.
DETAIL
Today is day 1,247
The counter is the whole point. Long-press to switch units; the rhythm of your relationship in three taps.
DETAIL
What's coming up
Anniversaries, birthdays, travel — pulled from your calendars, sorted by how soon, dressed in their own color.
DETAIL
Your knot, your start
Two avatars, one mark in the middle. Tap it and a small heart finds its way to them.
DETAIL
Moods, exchanged
A 12-emoji vocabulary. The app suggests a one-liner when words are hard.
03 · GETTING STARTED
Four minutes from download to the first day.
01
Download, anyone first
Either of you. Open the app, set your name, pick a knot color.
02
Send a knot to them
Share a link. They tap, they confirm — both phones light up at the same instant.
03
Mark the day you began
Could be your first kiss, your wedding, the night you decided. The count starts there.
04
Live, and let it remember
It runs quietly in the background. You'll hear from it on the days that matter.
04 · FROM COUPLES
Quietly used.
DateKnot has been in private beta with about two hundred couples since November. A few notes back.
We'd been counting on a kitchen whiteboard for six years. DateKnot is the first app that doesn't feel like a productivity tool wedged into our relationship.
I tried it for the anniversary reminder. I stayed for the mood strip. He's 4,000 km away for work and somehow I see him on it every morning.
It suggested a tiny ceramic bird for our 4th wedding anniversary. I have no idea how it knew. She loved it.
