Since the birth of their child, the conversation between husband and wife has been, "What's for dinner today? Did you buy diapers?" Have you ever had the feeling that you haven't been talking to each other enough lately? Have you ever had the feeling that you haven't been talking to each other properly lately? In my family, we haven't even had that kind of conversation recently...
In the midst of all this, I found "Towaly," a "preventive communication" application that prevents differences between couples.
In this issue, I will introduce the points that I actually used and I would like to introduce some of the points that I actually felt!
Communication application for "preventing" cross talk.
Towaly" is an application that helps couples and their families to resolve communication problems before they become problems. Towaly is designed to prevent "differences" and "reduced conversation" that tend to occur between couples.
App Store (iOS):
https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/towaly/id6739182195?platform=iphone
Google Play (Android):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.towaly
The app was developed by Moberly Corporation, which, after a beta release, officially launched its full-scale operations in June 2025! It is a much talked-about application that ranked first in the App Store search for the keyword "married couple" (as of June 2025).
If you decide on a family name (group name) and an aigo (greeting) and invite your partner, you can share a variety of information.
A little "space" between husband and wife is all that's needed.
The nice thing about Towaly is that you can deliver your feelings "before it gets awkward" or "before you get buried in busyness"!
Letter" function for easy sending of feelings
When I feel dissatisfied with my husband, I tend to send long-winded lines and feel self-loathing.... The "Letter" function on Towaly allows me to send both positive and negative feelings to the other person without hesitation! There is no reply function, so you don't have to get frustrated when the reply is not so nice or is not read through...!
Story" and "shared diary" functions for "just the two of you
The "Story" function allows you to share your daily life and photos of your children's funny faces, and to connect with them only through light reactions, while the "Shared Diary" function allows you to leave daily events as memos. There is also a "Shared Diary" function that allows you to leave notes about daily events.
Shared List" and "Shared Memo" functions useful in daily life
In the "Share List," you can leave a group of URLs or notes that you want to share. I immediately made a list of "places I want to visit with my family" and left a few spots I was interested in. It is convenient because it allows you to group together information that would tend to get buried if sent separately on LINE or other means, such as a list of "posts I liked on social networking sites" or a list of "videos I want you to watch!
There is also a "shared memo" that allows simple memos to be left in categories.
Evacuation Plan" function that also provides an opportunity to consider emergency measures
I was so glad to see this!" I thought, "This is great! The app allows you to share information such as evacuation sites, meeting places, and rules in case you cannot be reached.
The system allows us to manage our stockpile of emergency supplies and even the contents of our evacuation rucksacks, so this was an opportunity for us to talk with our husband and wife about how we should decide what to do in an emergency.
In times of disaster, family misunderstandings can be fatal, so it is truly reassuring to be able to combine everyday peace of mind with emergency preparedness.
A limited community where users in the same position can feel free to ask for advice!
I've used apps that support communication between couples before, but what I thought was unique was the "closed community" feature.
- Groups for wives/girlfriends only
- Groups only for husbands/boyfriends
There are two limited communities, "Towaly Community" and "Towaly Community", where you can ask people who are in the same position as you to help you with your concerns, small worries, or parenting issues that you cannot directly talk about with your partner.
For example,
Since the birth of our child, we don't have much time to spend together as a couple...what do you guys do?"
What can I do to make you happy on our anniversary?"
What are you doing to protect your baby when you're out and about?
I can easily post little things like "I'm not the only one," etc. I can share them in a safe space, not in a sea of social networking sites, so there is no risk of being burned (laughs). I was also relieved to know that I was not the only one.
I felt that Towaly is not a "fire extinguisher" application for solving problems, but more like a "ventilation fan" that works to prevent unwanted air from seeping in!
The blur that has been accumulating without you realizing it will be lightened just by being put into words. We hope you will try this "application that creates a blank space" as well!

My second daughter has had a stomach problem for about 10 days now, and I am worried. She eats well, laughs well, sleeps well, and is very healthy.... Please take care of yourself during this change of season!
