Start with one thing you’ve both been putting off
Korby is the shared bucket list for two. Collect the trips, restaurants and small plans you keep talking about, put a real date and a checklist on one of them, then keep it, photos and all, as a dated memory once you have lived it.
A shared note holds the ideas. It cannot date them, count down to them, or keep the photos afterwards.

One idea, followed all the way through.
Both of you add to one list.
Add a wish in seconds, either your own or one of the 100+ in Discover. It sits under Someday until it has a date, Planned once it does, Dreams if it is the big one. Whatever one of you adds, the other sees.
Give it a date and it starts counting down.
Set the days, add the photo that made you want it, and work a shared checklist: book the boat, make the reservation, buy the sunscreen. It moves to Planned and shows on both home screens as what is next.
Done does not mean gone.
Mark it done and it drops onto a shared timeline with its date, its photos and a word for how it felt. The year adds up against a goal you set together. No streaks, no score, nobody watching.
You're probably using four of them for this.
Each does a piece. None carries an idea from "we should" to a memory you can find again.
| Capability | Shared note | Calendar | Korby | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Holds ideas that are not dated yet | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
| Puts a date and a countdown on one | No | Yes | No | Yes |
| Keeps the checklist and photos on it | Partly | No | No | Yes |
| Becomes a dated memory afterwards | No | No | No | Yes |
| No feed, no ads | Yes | Yes | No | Yes |
The idea, the date, the checklist and the photos end up in four different apps, so the thing never quite gets planned, and afterwards there is nowhere it lives.
Three findings the app is built around.
New things together beat nice things together. Across five studies, three of them experiments with married couples, the couples who did something novel and exciting together rated their relationship higher straight afterwards than the couples who did something merely pleasant.
Aron et al., Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 2000The waiting is part of it. In an experience-sampling study of 2,266 adults, people looking forward to an experience reported more happiness, more pleasantness and more excitement than people looking forward to a purchase. Korby's countdown is that window.
Kumar, Killingsworth and Gilovich, Psychological Science, 2014A date beats an intention. A meta-analysis of 94 studies found that deciding when and where you will do a thing, instead of just meaning to, had a medium-to-large effect on whether it actually happened (d = .65).
Gollwitzer and Sheeran, Advances in Experimental Social Psychology, 2006These are general findings about couples, anticipation and planning. They are not studies of Korby, and we do not claim they measure it.
