In a 1997 study, pairs of strangers spent 45 minutes taking turns answering questions that grew more personal. They felt closer to each other than pairs who made small talk.

Research
What research says about closeness.
Dr. John Gottman followed newlywed couples for six years. When one partner reached out — even with something as small as a smile — the couples who stayed married noticed and responded 86% of the time.

Questions
Good to know.
What is Eterna?
An app for two people in a relationship. You each answer a few questions on your own. When you’ve both answered, The Reveal shows your answers side by side.
Is Eterna therapy?
No. Eterna is not therapy, counselling or coaching, and it never scores or rates your relationship. It’s a private space to answer questions together and keep what matters.
Does my partner need the app too?
Yes. You each use Eterna on your own phone. One of you invites the other with a Key, and then you’re paired.
Can my partner see my answers before I finish?
No. Your answers stay hidden until you’ve both answered. Then The Reveal shows them to you both.
Do we have to answer at the same time?
No. Answer whenever it suits you. The Reveal opens once you’ve both answered all five questions in a Chapter.
How many questions are there?
2,500, across 10 Books. Each Chapter has five, and you go at your own pace.
What is My Manual?
Seven short parts about you — like how you feel loved and how to support you. You can read your partner’s part once you’ve both finished it.
What is Moonbun?
A pet the two of you share. It starts as an egg, hatches when you finish your first Section together, and grows as you feed it.
Is Eterna free?
Book 1 is free, with all 50 of its Chapters. Eterna Plus opens the other nine Books, AI insights and Our Story, and one plan covers you both. See Eterna Plus.
Who can use Eterna?
Anyone 18 or older.
Is my data private?
Yes. There are no ads, we never sell your data, and your partner can’t see your answers until you’ve both answered. The Privacy Policy has the details.
What happens if we unpair?
Nothing is deleted. Your shared Records are kept, and they come back if you reconnect.
