The private app for the two of you. Daily questions and games. Learn by day. Play when you want. Smolder is for couples who are already together. Link your accounts once, then stay close when you are apart or on the couch: shared questions, little notes, private chat, and games when you want them. STAY CLOSE • Daily Dual. The same question on both phones. Two moods — you pick which one you answer. Answer privately, then reveal together. • Soft Spots. Coffee order, stress tells, the little things they care about. Saved so you can use them. • Rank what matters. Put five things in order. They guess yours. Reveal together. • A note on their Home Screen. Something short that can land on their widget. • Slow Burn. Secret micro-tasks through the day, a shared finale at night. • Mutual-yes dates. Swipe ideas separately. Shared yeses show up together. PLAY When you want a longer night: prompt cards, Dice Night, Spin, Scratch-Offs, Yes / No, and more. One Heat Dial sets how far Play can go. WHISPER A private thread for your linked pair. Text, photos, polls, locked notes, burn-after-read. Works when you are apart. Nearby mode when you are together.
