Converstion Starters is a beautifully simple deck of conversation cards for the people sitting right in front of you. Swipe through hand-picked questions designed to move past small talk and into the stuff worth remembering — over coffee, at the dinner table, on a long drive, or anywhere a real conversation belongs. No accounts. No feeds. No noise. Just you, the people you're with, and one good question at a time. SEVEN DECKS FOR EVERY TABLE • Icebreakers — light, friendly openers for new faces and quiet rooms. • Casual — easy questions that turn a regular hangout into a great one. • Deep Connection — thoughtful prompts for the conversations you mean to have but rarely do. • Date Night — playful and tender questions for couples, new or old. • Hot Seat — bold, funny, slightly dangerous prompts for game nights and group chats. • Family Table — questions that get parents, kids, and grandparents talking like equals. • Workplace — meeting openers and team prompts that don't feel like a corporate trust fall. DESIGNED TO DISAPPEAR The whole app is built around one motion: swipe. Cards stack like a real deck, animate smoothly, and stay out of your way. The parchment-and-ink design is calm enough to leave on the table without becoming the center of attention — because it shouldn't be. The conversation should. BUILT FOR IPHONE AND IPAD Pass the iPhone around the dinner table or prop the iPad in the middle of the group. The layout adapts cleanly to either. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT No sign-up. No tracking. No ads. Your questions and your conversations stay where they belong — between you and the people across from you. FREE TO START Two full decks — Icebreakers and Casual — are free forever, with hundreds of questions to get you going. Unlock individual premium decks anytime, or grab the full bundle to get every deck (current and future) in one tap. Install in the first hour and the bundle comes with a launch discount, no codes or accounts required. WHO IT'S FOR • Couples who want date night to feel like the early days again. • Friends who'd rather talk than scroll. • Families who want dinner to be more than "how was school." • Teams looking for a meeting opener that actually breaks ice. • Anyone who's ever sat across from someone they love and run out of things to say. Put the phones down. Pick up a card. See where it goes.
