## What is unfurl?

unfurl is a conversation-card app for the people right in front of you. Pick a deck, set up who's playing, and tap through questions that turn small talk into the kind of conversation you remember.

Every card is written to land on one read, then quietly go deeper. unfurl fills in the names and pronouns of the people in the room, so a question arrives personal instead of generic. It reads like it was written for your table, because it was.

WHAT YOU DO
Choose a deck. Add the people playing. Tap to reveal a card, tap again for the next one. That's the whole interface. The question is the hero, and everything else gets out of the way.

THE DECKS
Couples: get past the daily logistics.
Old Friends: for the people who already know your history.
Family: for the dinner table, across generations.
Just Met: for new company and first impressions.
Icebreakers: quick, low-stakes openers for any group.
Conversation Starters: pick a topic and get talking.
Solo: questions to sit with on your own.

PACED TO GO DEEPER
A session warms up, opens up, then goes deep on its own. Want to get there faster, or stay light? A depth control lets you steer. Pick a short set, or an open-ended session that never cuts off mid-conversation.

MADE FOR THE ROOM
Read-aloud speaks each card to the group, hands-free. Rotation keeps everyone involved, so the quiet person at the table gets asked too. Save the cards that land. Share a favourite as a clean image, with names stripped by default.

YOUR PRIVACY STAYS YOURS
Names, pronouns and saved people live on your device only. Nothing about who you play with is sent to a server, ever. It's opt-in, and you can clear it any time in Settings. No account, no sign-up. Open the app and play.

FREE TO START
Every deck gives you a set of free cards. Unlock a full deck with a one-time purchase, or get every deck at once with the All Decks bundle. No subscriptions, no ads, anywhere.

Better questions, for the people you actually want to know. That's the whole idea.
