Dua plans dates you'll both love. For couples who've been together a while and have run out of "what should we do tonight" answers. Dua is your couple's date planning utility — an AI that learns what you both enjoy and proposes plans you'll actually want to do. HOW IT WORKS → Tell Dua what you're up for (mood, energy, budget, area) → Get a personalized plan with real venues, timing, and reasoning → Propose to your partner, who can accept, counter, or decline → Plan lands in your shared calendar automatically WHAT'S INSIDE - AI-powered date plans — Real venues with real reasoning, not generic "have dinner" suggestions - Partner Echo — Bidirectional proposals where either partner can suggest, counter, or accept - Memory Loop — Dua learns from your feedback ("we loved this place") and gets sharper over time - Surprise & Reveal — Plan a date your partner sees only on the day — for anniversaries and special moments - Shared calendar — All your plans together, with full detail and locations - Bilingual — English and Traditional Chinese, designed for Singapore and Taiwan WHY DUA Most couples apps focus on questions, quizzes, or therapy modules. Dua focuses on the practical problem: it's Saturday afternoon, you want to do something together, and neither of you wants to scroll Instagram for two hours looking for ideas. Dua proposes. Your partner accepts, counters, or declines. You go on the date. Done. PRICING Dua is free to download. Free users get 3 AI plans per month each. Premium unlocks unlimited plans, counter-proposals with venue search, and advanced surprise reveal features. One subscription covers both partners — following the standard couples-app convention.
