One good question a day for you and your teenager. You each answer on your own phone, on your own time — and nobody sees a single answer until everyone has answered. Two minutes. Then it's yours to keep, forever.
iOS, Android & web · one price for the whole family · no tracking, ever
Their answers stay hidden until you send yours. That's the whole trick.
11 memories in the Gollapalli jar
No sitting anyone down. No “we need to talk.” Just a question, two phones, and a moment where you both find out what the other one said.
One question each morning, chosen for where your family actually is — not a random prompt pulled from a list.
A sentence is enough. So is a joke, or a photo. Skip it entirely and nobody is told — not even your parent.
The last answer opens them all, and a marble drops for each. That's the part your family comes back for.
Most of what your family says to each other is gone by morning. Here, every answered day becomes a marble — and the answers stay, dated and readable, for as long as you want them.
There's no streak to break and no counter shaming you for a bad week. The jar doesn't empty. It only fills.
Four answers in. It still feels like a novelty.
It's a habit now. Nobody has to remind anyone.

Grounded in the research behind the “Do You Know?” scale — teenagers who know their family's stories score higher on resilience and self-esteem. These questions are how those stories get told.

You've asked “how was your day” a thousand times and gotten “fine” a thousand times. This asks better questions than you can think of at dinner — and it asks them of you, too.
They have to answer the awkward one before they see yours. Be funny, be short, or skip it — nobody gets told. It's honestly kind of interesting to find out what they say.
Start tonight with one question. Free for 30 days — because a two-minute habit needs longer than a week to prove it's worth keeping.
