Babe We Should: the app built around doing more together. The best relationships aren't built in conversation threads. They're built in the car at midnight, at a restaurant you'd never normally try, on a trail you almost didn't take. Babe We Should is a shared date bucket list that turns your best ideas into real memories for the two of you. Plan it. -Drop ideas the second you think of them. A road trip, a hole-in-the-wall spot, a random Tuesday adventure. Pick an emoji, see what your partner adds, and watch your list grow* Go do it. - When you're both ready, just go. The whole point is getting out and doing something worth remembering. Keep it forever. - Every date gets a photo. Those photos develop into a private scrapbook, which is a real record of the life you're building together. Your relationship deserves more than screen time. Go live it. *Adding unlimited date ideas is a premium feature Privacy policy: https://www.notion.so/Babe-We-Should-Privacy-Policy-34b4323c83548020b2ccdc6a3f59a6af Terms of service: https://www.notion.so/Babe-We-Should-Terms-of-Service-3514323c83548094bc12f2e2fb8f3536
