While We're Here turns any gathering into a real conversation. Draw a card, ask the question out loud, and see where it goes — with a spouse, a family at dinner, old friends catching up, or a small group that wants more than surface talk. A place to start: - 100 original questions across four decks: Life & Laughter, Faith & Questions, People We Love, and Gratitude & Prayer - Many cards hide an optional follow-up question, revealed only when someone taps for it — for going one layer deeper when the group is ready - The app remembers what your group has played, skipped, and favorited, and steers you toward cards you haven't seen yet - Pick up a session exactly where you left off, even weeks later - Write your own cards for the people at your table, and export them to share START FREE 25 of the 100 cards are open right away, spread across all four decks, plus room to write 3 cards of your own — enough to try it at a real table before deciding it's worth more. ONE UNLOCK, ONCE A single one-time payment ($9.99 in the U.S.; pricing may vary by region) unlocks all 100 built-in cards, unlimited custom cards, the ability to name and organize your own decks, and any cards added in future updates. No subscription. No trial. No ads. No account to create. HOW YOUR DATA WORKS While We're Here is built to work without a network connection once you're set up: the cards you write and your play history stay on your device, and there's no account or cloud sync of anything you create. Buying the unlock, restoring a past purchase, and checking your purchase status do need a connection — Apple processes the payment, and RevenueCat, our purchase-management service, keeps a record of that purchase tied to an anonymous identifier the app is assigned. Once that's confirmed, you can play offline. Whether you're around a dinner table, on a long drive, waiting for a small group to fill out, or just two people who want to talk about something other than the news — While We're Here gives you a place to start, and however long you want to stay there. More than small talk. More than Sunday.
