Had a great first date? Turn "we should do this again" into a real plan. Choose three thoughtful ideas, send one private invitation, and make your next date easy to arrange. NEW: PLAN A DATE Tap a few tiles — kind of date, mood, budget, area and when you're free — and get three genuinely different plans on different days. Real nearby places come from Apple Maps; curated ideas are clearly labelled as ideas. Edit anything before you send. NEW: DAILY IDEA SPIN Spin a prize-style wheel once a day for a fresh date idea, with satisfying ticks, a jackpot chime and confetti. Like what it lands on? Plan it in one tap. Skip a day and nothing is lost. NEW: PICK A VIBE Write your invitation in one tap with Warm, Playful, Direct, Low-key or Sweet lines. Tap again for another line, or write your own. THREE PLANS. ONE INVITATION. Offer up to three complete date plans — place, day, time and a map — in a single link. They pick the one they like instead of negotiating by text. NO DOWNLOAD REQUIRED TO REPLY. Your invitation opens in an ordinary web browser. They can choose a plan, ask for another time, or say "not this time" — no app, no account, no paywall. THEY PICK. YOU CONFIRM. Their answer comes back to you as a link in your usual chat. Open it, confirm, and the date becomes a keepsake ticket with Add to Calendar and directions. DATE IDEAS THAT FIT. Ready 3 drafts three complete plans from places you've saved and what's nearby. Instant 3 finds three real nearby spots for the mood you pick. Idea Studio is an original library of second-date and date-night ideas with budget and setting filters. LESS BACK-AND-FORTH. Calendar Fit suggests times you're actually free. It reads only when events start and end — never titles or guests — and only on your device. A LITTLE GAME, ZERO PRESSURE. Earn points and collect badges for real planning moments: sending an invitation, getting a yes, saving an idea, adding a date to your calendar. Climb from Newcomer to Legend and unlock 14 badges. No streaks to lose, nothing ever goes down, and nothing scores your relationship. Satisfying sounds and haptics make every tap feel good — switch them off anytime. PLAN AGAIN OR SUGGEST NEW TIMES. Turn any past date into the next invitation, or offer the same places at fresh times when plans need to move. Sort saved ideas into collections like Rainy day or Big night, and set your usual mood, budget and times once in Date preferences. Great for third dates, weekend plans and regular date nights as a couple. TALK SPARKS. Decks of conversation starters for the date itself, from light warm-ups to deeper questions. Skip any card. PRIVATE BY DESIGN. No account and no SecondYes dating database. Your plans and history stay on your device. Invitation details travel inside the link you share through your own messaging app, so anyone with that link can open it — share it only with the person you're inviting. NOT A DATING APP. No profiles, no matching, no strangers, no feed. SecondYes is for people who have already met. WORKS WHERE YOU ARE. iPhone, iPad, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, and Siri Shortcuts. FREE AND PRO. Free to download, and your first invitations are free. Replying is always free for the person you invite. SecondYes Pro is an optional auto-renewing monthly or yearly subscription that unlocks unlimited invitations, Ready 3, Instant 3, Calendar Fit, Plan Again, unlimited saved ideas and unlimited idea spins. Payment is charged to your Apple ID; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://secondyes.rork.app/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://secondyes.rork.app/privacy/
