Hey Couples, Meet Merge: Your New Go-To for Staying Totally "On the Same Page"!
Life gets pretty busy, right? Between work, friends, and everything else, it's super easy for schedules to get tangled, money talks to get a little tricky, and even figuring out what's for dinner to feel like a huge decision. That's where Merge comes in! We created this app just for couples like you, to make collaborating on life's everyday stuff way easier and help you truly stay "on the same page."
Merge is like your cozy little hub for all things shared life – from ticking off to-dos and planning fun dates to handling finances and whipping up delicious meals. With a super clean and friendly design, Merge is all about making your shared journey smoother, happier, and full of good vibes.
Ready to Connect? It's a Cinch!
Getting started with Merge is really straightforward and sweet. Just one of you needs to grab a Merge Premium subscription for $9.99 a month. Once you're in, we'll give you a special Merge Code. Your partner simply pops that code into their app, and voilà! Your accounts are linked up, and you're ready to start sharing and collaborating like pros.
Come On In, Let's Explore Merge's Sweet Features!
Want a peek inside? Let's stroll through the different parts of the Merge app and see how they're designed to help you and your sweetheart team up effortlessly.
1. Home: Your Little Welcome Mat
Think of the Home screen as your app's friendly front door. It's where you land first, get a warm welcome, and see your unique Merge Code ready for your partner.
Right away, you'll see that happy little confirmation that you're connected (like, "You are connected with Kayla!"). It's all about that feeling of togetherness, right from the start.
The Corkboard acts as your couple's go-to spot for all those shared tasks and sweet little reminders. It's designed so nothing gets forgotten, and you both know what's on each other's minds.
Here’s what you can do on your Corkboard:
Add New Task: Pop anything you need to get done onto your shared list.
Custom Categories: Make your lists super organized! Create your own categories like "Work," "Home Projects," or even "Fun Stuff," so everything has its perfect spot.
Priority Levels: Quickly mark tasks as "Low," "Medium," or "High" priority to help you both see what's most important right now.
Your Nudges: These are little friendly reminders or prompts sent by your partner – a sweet way to make sure important things get a little extra highlight!
3. Schedule: Your Harmonized Happy Calendar
Say goodbye to frantic texts asking "What's happening this weekend?" The Schedule page is where all your shared family events and those special milestones live. One calendar, total clarity!
On your shared calendar, you can:
Manage Categories, Recurring Events, and Milestones: Keep things tidy by categorizing events (like "Date Night" or "Kids' Activities"), set up things that happen regularly, and define those big, exciting milestones you're working towards.
Show Monthly Calendar View: Get a bird's-eye view of your entire month – perfect for planning ahead.
Your Milestones: These are awesome for tracking progress on shared goals! For example, if you set a goal for 5 "date nights," Merge will automatically update your progress as you complete those scheduled dates. How cool is that?
Today's Events: A quick glance to see what lovely things are planned for the day!
4. Finances: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work (and the Budget!)
Money chats can sometimes feel a bit… dry. But Merge makes managing shared finances super simple, helping you both track spending and work towards common financial goals.
On the Finances page, you'll find:
Monthly Overview: A clear snapshot of your shared financial picture for the month (like June 2025). Easy peasy!
Add Expense: Quickly jot down every shared spend, so you both know where your hard-earned money is going.
Monthly Expenses: Dive into a clear list of all your recorded expenses – no surprises!
Shared Goals: This is where the fun begins! Set up those dreams you're saving for together – maybe a fabulous vacation, a new home fund, or tackling some debt. Just give it a "Goal Title" and a "Goal Amount," and then watch your progress grow together.
5. Meals: Plan, Discover, & Shop Together Deliciously!
Meal planning and grocery runs can be a bit of a chore, right? Merge takes the stress out of it, making daily food decisions a breeze and even a little inspiring!
For all things yummy, you get:
Add Meal: Plan out your meals in advance, and even link to your favorite recipes from outside the app – super handy!
Weekly Meal Plan: Lay out your entire week's meals with ease. Need ideas? Merge can even give you suggestions for dinner, making evenings so much simpler.
Favorite Recipes: Keep all your most-loved dishes in one spot for quick access when you're feeling hungry.
What's in my Fridge? (Ingredient Search): This is a lifesaver! See what you've got on hand and let Merge help you discover recipes you can make right now, cutting down on waste and sparking new ideas.
Add Grocery Item: Pop items onto your shared list the moment you think of them.
Shared Grocery List: This is your one-stop shop for groceries! Both of you can add to it, tick things off as you shop, and even wipe the whole list clean once the fridge is stocked. So easy!
