Frequently Asked Questions

No, Middly is not therapy or a replacement for professional counseling. It's a connection tool with research-inspired prompts and coaching-style reflections designed to help couples communicate and understand each other better. If you're facing serious relationship challenges, we recommend working with a licensed therapist.

Middly provides guided conversation prompts on topics like gratitude, future plans, and daily check-ins. Each partner answers privately, and Middly's AI generates shared insights that highlight common ground and areas for growth—without revealing raw answers. This creates a safe space for honest reflection.

No, you take turns at your own pace—no need to be in the same room or even the same timezone. Each partner answers when it's convenient, and you both see the insights when you're ready. This asynchronous approach works great for busy couples and long-distance relationships.

No. Your raw answers stay completely private. Middly creates shared insights based on both perspectives, but your partner never sees exactly what you wrote. This privacy-by-design approach encourages honesty and openness without fear of judgment.

Yes, privacy is built into Middly's core design. Your individual answers are never shown to your partner—only the AI-generated insights are shared. We use industry-standard encryption, and you can request deletion of your data at any time. We never sell your personal information.

Middly is a daily connection tool, not therapy. While therapy involves working with a licensed professional to address deeper issues, Middly helps couples build small communication habits through regular check-ins. Think of it as relationship hygiene—like brushing teeth, but for your connection. Many couples use Middly alongside therapy.

The 5 Love Languages is a framework by Dr. Gary Chapman that describes how people prefer to give and receive love: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. Middly includes a free 5-minute quiz to discover your love language and provides weekly challenges tailored to your partner's preferences.

Absolutely! Middly is perfect for long-distance couples. Since partners answer at their own pace and don't need to be together, you can stay connected across any timezone. The guided prompts and shared insights help maintain emotional closeness even when you're physically apart.

Middly's prompts and insights are grounded in two evidence-based approaches: the Gottman Method (research on what makes relationships succeed) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). These frameworks emphasize understanding, empathy, and building positive patterns—all reflected in how Middly guides your conversations.

We recommend doing a session 2-3 times per week to build consistent connection habits. Each session takes about 5 minutes per partner. Many couples also enjoy the weekly love language challenges and daily check-ins. Find a rhythm that works for your relationship.

Middly is free to download and try. Core features like the Love Languages quiz and guided sessions are included. Some premium features like AI-generated weekly challenges and unlimited sessions may require a subscription. We believe every couple deserves tools to connect better.
