Couples who fight and repair are doing the rhythm, not failing.
Lynu is an iPhone app for after the fight — or during it, if you both agree. It captures what was actually said and gives each of you a neutral report you can trust, because both of you opted in.
Two memories, one record
“She saw the message and chose not to answer. When I brought it up she got cold and made it about her job, like I was unreasonable for noticing.”
“He was already angry when I walked in. I explained once, calmly, and he kept going. I don't think I raised my voice at all.”
What was actually said
“I was in a meeting. I'm allowed to be in a meeting.”
Each memory is the story. The consented recording is the fact — what a video camera would have kept. Lynu is the camera.
One report, written for both of you.
A fictional Thursday. This is the shared part — Sam and Priya each read their own part first, and only then did this unlock. Tap through it: what happened, what was underneath, what was said and heard, and what to say next.
It never declares a winner. No blame percentages, no scores — the patterns are named and quoted, and the fight is given a repair. The quotes are verbatim; the analysis is AI-generated.
