Partner Linking

Connect with your partner to unlock ReKindle's full potential.

What is Partner Linking?​

Partner linking is the process of connecting your ReKindle account with your partner's account. Once linked, you can:

  • Exchange balance hearts
  • Generate AI suggestions for each other
  • Share important dates
  • Track relationship health together
  • Access couple-focused features

Most ReKindle features require a partner connection:

Features Available Without Partner:​

Open Settings → Partner, choose the invitation action, and enter the email address where your partner wants to receive the invitation. They do not need an account yet. ReKindle emails a private invitation link.

Your partner opens the email link, signs in with their preferred account, and completes onboarding if needed. The invitation screen shows who invited them and which account will connect. They must tap Connect to finish; opening the link or signing in never connects automatically. Use another account preserves the invitation while switching accounts. Not now dismisses it without connecting.

Without opening the link, signing in with the invited email also reveals the invitation on Home, in Partner Settings, and during onboarding. Review it and confirm the account before connecting. A different email requires the private link.

Invitations expire after seven days. Resending replaces the previous private link and starts a new seven-day window; a five-minute resend cooldown applies. If an older beta link asks for a replacement, ask the inviter to resend it.

Partner Status Indicators​

Pending sent and received invitations appear separately. Once connected, both people see the actual partner account. ReKindle permits one active relationship per account and never replaces an existing relationship automatically.

Viewing Partner Information​

Once linked, you can see:

  • Partner's name
  • Partner's avatar
  • Link status
  • Connection date

Where to find:

  • Dashboard header (avatars)
  • Profile → Partner tab
  • Suggestion screens

Unlinking from Partner​

To disconnect from your partner:

  1. Navigate to Profile → Partner section
  2. Find partner details
  3. Tap "Unlink" or "Remove Partner"
  4. Confirm your decision in the dialog

What happens when you unlink:

  • ⚠️ You lose access to couple features
  • ⚠️ Shared data (important dates) may become private
  • ⚠️ Balance hearts are reset
  • ⚠️ Existing suggestions remain but you can't create new ones
  • ⚠️ Subscription returns to your own tier - If you were using your partner's premium subscription, you'll immediately lose access to those benefits
  • ✅ Both users are notified of the unlink
  • ✅ You can link with a new partner later
Unlinking is Serious

Unlinking removes your relationship data and cannot be easily undone. If you're using your partner's subscription benefits, you'll lose premium access immediately. Consider communicating with your partner before unlinking.

Canceling Pending Requests​

If you sent a request and want to cancel:

  1. Go to Profile → Partner section
  2. Find pending request status
  3. Tap "Cancel Request"
  4. Request is withdrawn
  5. Partner is notified (if applicable)

Partner Request Notifications​

Existing recipients may receive a partner-request notification. Its action opens the same account-confirmation screen. The invitation remains discoverable with the invited email even if no notification was created. Connection notifications appear after acceptance.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Q: Can I link with more than one partner?

A: No, ReKindle supports one active partner link at a time. You must unlink from your current partner before linking with someone new.

Q: Does my partner need a paid subscription to link?

A: No. Partner linking is available without a paid plan. Paid upgrades are not available in the app; each partner currently has their own allowances. See Plans and payments for details.

Q: What happens to our data if we unlink?

A: Shared features stop working after you unlink. Your account keeps its own allowances. See Plans and payments for current availability.

Q: Can I re-link with the same partner after unlinking?

A: Yes, you can send a new partner request to the same person. However, previous relationship data (balance, hearts) may not be restored.

Can I use a different email? Yes, when opening the private invitation link. Confirm the account you want to connect.

What if I have no account or app? Create an account after opening the link. The browser flow works without an installed app.

What if I lost the email? Sign in with the invited email to review the invitation in-app, or ask your partner to resend it. Never share the private link publicly.

Q: Can I link with someone who isn't my romantic partner?

A: While ReKindle is designed for romantic relationships, the technical feature works with any user. Use your discretion for your relationship type.

Q: What happens to pending requests if I send a new one?

A: You can only have one pending outgoing request at a time. Sending a new request may cancel the previous one.

Q: How long do partner requests last?

A: Partner request notifications expire after 7 days. If your partner doesn't respond, you may need to send a new request.

Q: Can I block someone from sending me requests?

A: Currently, you can decline requests, but there's no blocking feature. If you receive unwanted requests, contact support.

Q: Will unlinking notify my partner?

A: Yes, your partner receives a notification when you unlink. This is intentional for transparency.

Together after linking or unlinking​

Linking your accounts makes Together available on Home. Unlinking hides it and stops sharing your memories. Each person keeps their own photos privately. Reconnecting with the same person asks whether to share older photos again; a new partner never sees earlier relationship photos. The Our Memories guide explains these choices and downloads.
