The Couples Checklist is the easiest way to stop saying "we should go there" — and actually go. Free for both of you. No subscription, no trial. TONIGHT Open the app and the night is already planned: three stops near you, timed, with the walk between them. Tap "We're in," shuffle, or see it on a map. Not tonight? Plan it for Friday, or keep the idea so it isn't lost. Already have a date today? It's waiting at the top. A NEW IDEA EVERY THURSDAY A fresh date idea or road trip lands at the top of Tonight each week. Past drops stay in the archive. THIS WEEKEND Shows, concerts and events near you, in 53 cities across the US, UK, Canada and Australia. Add one to your plans in a tap, or build a whole night around it. DISCOVER Every kind of place near you on one map — restaurants, bars, dessert, museums, parks, shows, and more. Tap a kind and the map lights up. Tap a pin and answer three things: been? want? plan it? "Then go to" pairs something to do with dinner a short walk away: karaoke first, then steak. ANY TOWN Search "Bartaco, Port Chester" and it's on your list and your map. Works wherever you are, or wherever you're about to visit. TRIPS Road trip of the week: every Monday, a new two- or three-day getaway, already planned. Or plan your own — one place, a road trip, a city hop or a day trip. Stay an extra night, skip a stop, add one, save it for later, and fix the record when you're home. SAVED Your ideas sorted by the night — tonight, nights to plan, trips, dinner & drinks, shows. Rails, not one long list. MEMORIES Tick a place as been-there and add the photo right then. Every night out, by day and on a map. Your date passport fills in as you try every kind of date. THE "US" TAB Your relationship at a glance: an anniversary countdown, your date-night streak, and shared rewards you're working toward together. BUILT FOR TWO Add your partner and everything is shared — the ideas, the plans, the memories. One list you both can see. Stop scrolling. Start dating again.
