One case. Two partners. The same page.
In most binational couples one person ends up carrying the case: the forms, the receipts, the dates, the half-remembered forum thread. The other partner asks how it is going and gets a summary. Togetherward is built so both of you are looking at the same case instead of at each other’s summaries.
What a shared case actually holds
- A timeline of what has happened, with the date it happened and who recorded it.
- Documents and evidence in one place, with what each item is for rather than a folder of filenames.
- Tasks with an owner, so “someone should do this” becomes one named partner.
- Notes and updates you log yourselves — for example what an agency email said — with the date you logged them.
Most days the honest answer is that there is nothing to do. The workspace is designed to say that plainly instead of inventing activity.
Both partners, not an owner and a guest
Both members of a case see the same timeline, the same documents, and the same next step. Neither partner is a read-only observer of the other’s work, and nothing important lives only in one person’s inbox.
What we can and cannot see
On a case with encryption enabled, protected content — uploaded files, shared notes, case memories, attorney-question drafts — is encrypted on your device before it reaches us. We hold no key that can open it. Structured metadata such as filenames, dates, and task titles stays readable by our servers so search, reminders, and exports can work.
Togetherward never reads a government case system, and nothing here is legal advice. When you want an attorney involved, you export your own material and send it yourself.

The sample case is a fictional couple, running in your browser, with nothing saved. The real workspace is open to invited couples in a private beta while we work with a small group.
