Use case

An app to share a no-touch preference with your partner

Use a custom quick note to state the boundary in your own words. BaeMax does not publicly document a structured no-touch setting.

Short answer

BaeMax documents custom quick notes and selected context between two people, but its current public pages do not confirm a structured no-touch field, an off-by-default rule for that field, or automatic guidance that removes touch suggestions. Use a user-authored note such as 'Please do not touch me right now,' agree on a brief acknowledgement and a non-touch response, and test notification delivery with harmless text first. BaeMax communicates a message; it cannot monitor or enforce consent.

Practical guide

No-touch means no-touch, not 'try differently'

A no-touch message is useful only if it is noticed and respected. Write the current request plainly and agree in advance on what the recipient should do.

What BaeMax can communicate

BaeMax documents custom quick notes between a consented pair. The sender can write a direct no-touch message, but the current public pages do not promise a structured field, a default sharing state for that field, or automatically filtered advice.

  • User-authored custom quick note
  • Chosen delivery to the paired person
  • Custom quick note in your own words
  • No inferred consent or mood

What the partner should do

The right response to no-touch is not to negotiate a different kind of touch. Switch to non-touch support or leave space.

  • Ask later, not again in the moment
  • Skip bargaining for a hug, kiss, or cuddle
  • Offer water, food, a task, quiet company, or space only if invited
  • Check in later with words, not touch

What an app cannot enforce

BaeMax can communicate a preference. It cannot monitor consent, prevent harm, or force someone to respect a boundary.

  • Not a consent enforcement system
  • Not safety monitoring
  • Not a replacement for leaving unsafe situations
  • Not a tool for arguing about the boundary

How to make it clearer

Use plain wording. The goal is not a poetic message. The goal is to remove ambiguity at the exact moment ambiguity causes problems.

  • No hugs today
  • Please do not touch me right now
  • I want company without touch
  • Ask first before physical comfort

Separate a standing agreement from the current note

BaeMax does not publicly document a persistent no-touch profile field, so make any standing agreement in conversation and use a quick note for the current moment. Agree on a simple acknowledgement and one non-touch fallback such as leaving supplies nearby, handling a task, or giving space. Test the note after pairing and after a notification change. A delayed or missed note is not consent to touch, and silence should not be treated as a changed boundary. If a partner argues with or repeatedly ignores the request, adding more app settings will not fix the problem; stop sharing and use a trusted person or appropriate safety resource instead.

  • Current words override any saved preference
  • Choose one acknowledgement and one non-touch fallback
  • Treat missing notifications as missing information, not consent
  • Stop the setup when the boundary is not respected

Use words that cover the exact boundary

No touch can mean no comforting touch, no sexual touch, no contact with a painful area, or no physical contact at all. The sender should not have to explain why, but specificity can prevent accidental overreach when they have the energy to provide it. A current direct statement always outranks an earlier app preference. The receiver's job is to acknowledge and stop, not to decide whether the reason is sufficient.

  • Use 'no physical contact right now' when the boundary is broad.
  • Use 'please ask before any touch today' when consent needs to be requested each time.
  • Affection earlier in the day is not continuing consent.
  • Offer non-touch support once, then accept no.
What it does
Written, not inferred

The person sets the boundary

The sender writes the boundary directly. Do not infer consent from cycle phase, symptoms, mood, or a missing app signal.

Response agreement

Choose the non-touch action in advance

The pair can agree that the note means give space, leave supplies nearby, or handle a task. The public product pages do not claim that BaeMax chooses this response automatically.

For right now

Send your own sentence

A custom quick note can say 'No touch today' or whatever wording the pair understands. Treat it as a current message unless the people involved have separately agreed otherwise.

Common questions

can i tell my partner not to hug me without writing the same awkward text every time?
Use a custom quick note in your own words. BaeMax does not currently document a reusable no-touch setting, so make any standing agreement separately. The partner should treat it as a no, not an invitation to negotiate a different kind of touch.
does a no-touch quick note mean i never want touch?
No. It communicates the words you wrote for that moment. If you want a standing agreement, discuss its meaning and how to change it outside the app rather than assuming a permanent profile rule.
can my partner rewrite the no-touch note from their phone?
The note should preserve the sender's words, but test the current paired view with harmless text before relying on it. Regardless of app controls, the recipient does not get to redefine the sender's boundary.
what if they ignore it anyway?
BaeMax cannot enforce consent or make someone respect a boundary. A repeated refusal to respect a clear no-touch request is a relationship and safety issue, not an app configuration problem. Seek trusted or professional help if you feel unsafe, and use local emergency services in immediate danger.
does this share my symptoms too?
A custom note does not need to include symptoms. Keep the sentence limited to the immediate request, then inspect the current sharing settings and receiving view before adding any health context.
is this available for iphone couples?
Both people need supported Android phones for the current paired beta. The iPhone app is still in development.

Turn the signal into something useful

Use BaeMax when a partner needs a clearer check-in, a short note, or one practical task instead of another long conversation.
