Things feel good
Notice what you appreciate and what helps you feel close.
FOR THE RELATIONSHIPS THAT MATTER
We make time for feedback at work.
Our closest relationships deserve that care, too.
Eight thoughtful questions. Two perspectives. A chance to stay connected, rediscover each other, or talk before small things grow.
Start a check-inA free, self-guided check-in tool. Not therapy, counseling, or a professional service.
“I give advice
because I care.”
“Sometimes I just
want you to listen.”
“Would you like ideas,
or would listening help?”
FOR EVERYDAY CONNECTION
Taking time to understand each other is a thoughtful step. There’s no perfect moment or required outcome.
Notice what you appreciate and what helps you feel close.
Make space for a fresh conversation when routines feel stale or you’ve been passing each other by.
Explore small differences before they grow, if sharing feels comfortable for both of you.
PARTNERS, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS
You’ll reflect first.
Nothing is sent until you choose to share.
A CHECK-IN, NOT HOMEWORK
Whether things feel close, complicated, or somewhere in between, you can explore what everyday moments feel like.
Answer eight questions about how you think the other person experiences you.
Listening. Appreciation. Time. Support.Enter both emails and submit. We send their private invitation. They answer the same questions from their experience, without seeing your answers first.
They choose whether to take part.Once they finish, we email both of you the same report. See where your perspectives meet and differ, then decide what feels useful.
Choose one small thing to try. Or stop there.WHY BETTER BETWEEN US EXISTS
Inspired by feedback at work. Made for connection in everyday life.
At work, tools like 360 feedback help us understand how others experience us. At home, with family, partners, and friends, we often leave that understanding to guesswork.
Better Between Us brings that simple idea into everyday life: make space to ask, listen, and learn from each other.
You don’t need a problem to begin. A check-in can help you notice what feels good, reconnect when things feel routine, or understand something that’s been hard to say.
No performance review. No grade. Just a chance to understand the people who matter to you, and how you show up for them.
You choose your pace. Either person can skip a question, take a pause, or decide not to participate.
Understand how privacy worksBEFORE YOU BEGIN
Yes. After both sides submit, both people can see the ratings and comments in the shared report. This isn’t anonymous. You can review or edit your answers before submitting.
Different perspectives can bring up feelings. You can pause, leave the page, or return another time. If you both want to talk, a specific example may help. Neither person needs to prove their experience or settle a disagreement here.
Either partner, a parent or child (including an adult child), a sibling, or a friend can begin. The person starting asks about their own actions; the other person shares how those actions feel. There are no assumed genders, family roles, or right answers. Participants must be 13 or older; teens need parent or guardian permission. Teens should have space to answer freely, without being watched or coached, and can always decline.
No. You can use this once and leave it there. If you both want another check-in later, you can create one. An optional calendar reminder only reminds you; it never contacts the other person.
No. Better Between Us is a free, self-guided reflection tool. It does not provide therapy, counseling, mediation, clinical assessment, or professional advice. No professional reviews your answers. It does not diagnose, measure relationship health, or promise an outcome.
You do not need to take part or explain why. Answers are shared with the other person after both submit. If you’re worried about pressure or how someone might react, you can leave without submitting. This tool cannot make a conversation safe.
THERE’S NO PERFECT WAY TO BEGIN.
You choose whether, when, and how much to share.
A CLEAR WORD ABOUT PRIVACY
Your answers aren’t public, but they aren’t anonymous. Once both people submit, both can see the ratings and comments. Skipped questions have no rating or comment.
Anyone with an invitation link can respond and, after completion, view the report. Anyone with the results link can view it after both sides finish. Links act as access keys. Don’t forward them to others.
Submitted names or nicknames, ratings, and comments are stored on Netlify. There is no account or password, and this tool does not use end-to-end encryption. For new check-ins, both email addresses and private links are stored separately for invitation and report delivery through AgentMail, for up to 90 days. Emails contain links, never ratings or comments. This does not subscribe you to marketing. If you separately opt in and confirm, we keep your email and consent record in a newsletter list until you unsubscribe; it contains no relationship answers. New check-ins expire after 90 days; earlier check-ins expire December 13, 2026. Either person can delete the shared check-in from their private page. See our privacy notice for details.
Unsubmitted answers stay in this page’s memory and are lost when you leave or reload. Your small-step note is also not saved. After submitting, your private report link appears in the address bar. You can save it as a file, use your device’s share menu, and new check-ins automatically include email delivery.
A free, self-guided tool. Not therapy, counseling, mediation, or a professional service. No professional reviews your answers.
