Pocket Vows, Answered Straight

Pocket Vows is a guided wedding-vow writing app. It walks you through four stages, Ideate, Draft, Polish, and Print: a mood quiz sets your tone, story prompts and a warm interview gather your memories, a promises builder captures what you actually want to vow, then you draft, polish, rehearse with a teleprompter, and print. It is available as an iOS app and on the web at pocketvows.com.

Yes, the full writing flow is free: the quiz, prompts, interview, promises, drafting with version history, the teleprompter, and printing. Premium is a one-time purchase, $9.99 for one person or $14.99 for both partners, never a subscription. It unlocks the optional co-writer.

Premium unlocks the co-writer: Draft it for me (a first draft woven from your own quiz answers, stories, and promises), Tighten, Adjust tone, a cliché check with per-line replacements, and Interview me for digging up material. Everyone gets one co-writer run free to try it. The couple option covers two linked accounts.

No. You can write, polish, and print your vows without ever creating an account; everything is stored on your device. An optional free account adds encrypted cloud backup and sync, so your vows survive a lost phone and follow you between the app and the web.

Yes, private by design. Your writing lives on your device first, is never shared automatically, and is never shown to your partner. Nothing you write is used for advertising. You can also turn on an app lock (Face ID or a PIN) so no one who picks up your phone can peek.

The optional co-writer runs on language models from Anthropic. It only sees text you explicitly choose to send it, the writing is used solely to produce your result, and it is not used to train any AI model. If you never use the co-writer, none of your writing is ever sent anywhere for processing.

No. Vow text is never shared with anyone, including your partner. If you both use Pocket Vows, an optional partner link can share pace only, word count, target length, and style, so you can stay in step without spoiling a single word.

Yes. The couple premium option ($14.99, one-time) unlocks the co-writer for both of you: the buyer gets a code the partner redeems on their own account. Each of you writes privately; the optional partner link shares progress metadata only, never words.

Pocket Vows is an iOS app on the App Store and a web app at pocketvows.com; a free account syncs your writing between them. The web app works on any modern browser, so an Android phone or a laptop is covered today. Premium purchased on either platform unlocks both.

Yes. Print offers clean PDF templates, a pocket-sized vow card for the ceremony, and an offline day-of cue card. There is also a teleprompter mode paced to spoken words per minute for rehearsing.

Yes: love your vows or your money back. Web purchases carry a 30-day full refund, just email hello@pocketvows.com. Purchases made inside the iOS app are refunded through Apple, and if something is wrong we will always try to make it right.

A blank chatbot makes you do the hard part: knowing what to ask, and what makes vows personal. Pocket Vows is built only for vows, so the guidance comes first, a mood quiz, story prompts, an interview, and a promises builder, and any drafting starts from your real material instead of a generic prompt.
