Your group chat has opinions. Give it something worth arguing about. Daily Debate brings one question a day about culture, relationships, work, money, tech, food, and everyday life. Some are current. Some never stop being an argument. Pick a side or choose a point on a short scale. Make your own choice before comparing the results. ONE QUESTION. YOUR TAKE. • A new debate every day • Short answer choices and simple sliders • Vote without creating an account • See your answer, then explore the results GIVE A FRIEND SOMETHING TO DISAGREE WITH Send a public debate link to the group chat, or start a private one-to-one challenge. Your friend locks in an answer before yours is revealed. One-to-one challenge links are for one person; use the public debate link for a group. MORE THAN TODAY'S QUESTION Browse the archive or tap Surprise Me for a random past debate. Got a question that would split the group chat? Submit it for review. KEEP YOUR VOTES AND YOUR STREAK An optional account lets you sync votes and streaks across devices and review recent answers. Optional missed-vote reminders are scheduled around 7 PM Eastern on days you have not voted. Notification permissions, device settings, and delivery conditions apply. No endless feed. No in-app argument thread to keep up with. Just one good question a day, and a reason to ask: really, that's your answer?

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.
