Get the appBetween is a private messenger for couples with a shared album, calendar and anniversary countdowns, and it has been around since 2011. Amourly isn't a chat app. It's for the small gestures that don't need a conversation, like a note, a tap, your mood or a photo on your partner's Home Screen, plus a shared journal and map of your memories.

Between wants to be where you and your partner talk. Amourly sits beside whatever you already use, for the moments a text doesn't quite capture.

No. Between replaces your chat with a private messenger for two. Amourly sits alongside whatever you already text with. It's for moments that aren't a conversation: a love tap, a mood update, a photo on their widget, a note they'll want to keep.
Between has a shared album that keeps your photos and videos together. Amourly's shared journal turns photos into dated memories with a place attached and plots them on a map with the cities and countries you've visited together.
Between Plus is cheaper: $2.99/month, $24.99/year or $26.99 one-time, though its free version shows ads. Amourly Pro is $9.99/month or $44.99/year with no ads. Both cover your partner too.
Send a hug, a kiss, a poke or a boop in one tap. Your partner gets a notification, and it's a small, honest way to say you're on their mind.
Every memory with a place shows up on your shared map, with a count of the cities and countries you've visited together.
