How it works
Chapter by chapter — together
1
Start alone or together
Install the app, answer a few questions about your relationship and invite your partner with a code. You can start alone — your partner joins when ready.
2
Five minutes every day
A question of the day, a small chapter task and your own step. Your partner’s answer opens once you have both replied.
3
A new chapter every few days
A short read, a task for yourself, a conversation for two and a check-in. The next chapter opens no sooner than four days later, so new habits can settle.
4
See how you change
The couple map across eight areas shows what already holds you together and what needs attention. A repeat check-in shows what has changed.
Today
Five minutes that bring you closer
The home screen gathers everything for today: the question of the day, a sign of attention from your partner, the chapter task and your personal step.
Your partner’s answer appears only after yours — no peeking at the “right” one
Signs of attention: “I noticed”, thank you, a gentle request
Only you see “My step”
Our Path
12 chapters on what holds a couple together
Each chapter is one principle of a close relationship: knowing each other, showing warmth, making up, accepting differences, finding shared meaning.
A short illustrated read
Tasks for yourself and a conversation for two
A check-in and summary at the end of each chapter
Reading
Stories you recognise yourselves in
Written in plain language, with examples from the lives of families in Kazakhstan: work, children, relatives, moving house and celebrations.
68 stories and real-life examples

“Key points” — three short takeaways per chapter
Couple map
See what holds you together
Eight areas of the relationship — from “We know each other” to “Shared meaning”. Petal size is your joint result; each area has its own colour.
Your strengths and the areas that need attention
A “differently” mark when your answers differ
“Focus for the coming weeks” suggests where to start
Hard moment
Help when an argument has already started
The “Hard moment” button is always at the bottom of the screen. It helps you stop, cool down and come back to the conversation without hurt.
“I need a pause”: your partner gets a calm message and the time you will come back
A gentle start-up and repair phrases
A private look back at the argument and the “Eternal argument 15 + 15”
Talks and check-ins
Exercises you do together
Taking turns to talk, games on one phone, tests and trainers. The app suggests what to ask and how to listen.
“Talk about the day”: seven minutes each, no advice
“Weather of the week” and end-of-chapter check-ins
Trainers: how to say the same thing more gently
Memories
Your shared timeline
How you met, your wedding, your first trip, the birth of your children — photos and videos with the date and place. Only the two of you can see it.
A timeline by year and a gallery
“On this day” — what happened a year ago
“How long we’ve been together”: years, months, days and even heartbeats
Personal
Your own space within the couple
Each of you has a personal section: a journal by chapter, your steps, “what calms me”. Your partner sees an entry only if you share it.
A journal with your own categories
Task answers with every earlier version
Helpline numbers always at hand — your partner will not know

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this therapy?
No. “Our Path” is an original programme inspired by open research on couples. It helps you understand each other better but does not replace a family therapist. If you are in danger, call 112.
Can I use it alone?
Yes. Reading, the journal and personal tasks work without a partner. You can invite your partner at any time.
Will my partner see my answers?
Only what you choose to show. Your partner sees shared things: the answer to the question of the day once you have both replied, signs of attention, agreements, memories and the couple map. Your journal and task answers stay yours.
Does each of us have to pay?
No. One purchase opens access for both partners in the couple.
How much time does it take?
About five minutes a day. You go through chapters at your own pace: the next one opens no sooner than four days later, and tasks within a chapter are optional.
What happens after the first six months?
The starter access does not renew by itself. You choose a 1, 3, 6 or 12-month subscription — or stop. Your entries stay in your account.
Where is the data stored?
On servers in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Private notes are encrypted, and the app has no ads or third-party trackers.
When will the app be released, and on which phones?
First on iPhone in the App Store; an Android version will follow. Leave your contact and we will write on launch day.
Otbasy is not therapy and does not replace professional help. If you are in danger, call 112.
Be the first to know
Leave your contact and we'll let you know when the app is on the App Store. No newsletters — just one message.
