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. WHO IT IS FOR • Couples who want a simple daily habit • Partners who already chose each other • Anyone who would rather connect than scroll SUBSCRIPTION AND PRICING Smolder is free to try.

Couples Ignite
Read full descriptionHide full description
Couples Ignite is a private space for the two of you to say what you want, play together, and plan time that is just yours. ANSWER ON YOUR OWN, MATCH TOGETHER Browse questions about things you might like to try, and answer each one privately: yes, maybe, or no. When you both say yes or maybe to the same one, it becomes a shared match. Your partner never learns what you said no to, and you never learn what they passed on. It makes the harder conversations easier to start. A DAILY QUESTION Every day, both of you get the same question. You each answer on your own, then both answers reveal at the same time. A small ritual that keeps you close. TRUTH OR DARE, LIVE A game you play in the same room, each on your own phone. On your turn, your partner picks your truth or dare from a hand of cards, or writes you one. You play toward a points total together, not against each other. SPIN THE WHEEL Spin it, see where it lands, and decide together whether to try it. Tell it "more of this," "we know this one," or "not for us," and it starts to learn what the two of you like. DARES Send your partner a challenge to do when they get the chance. Accept it, do it, or let it expire. DATE PLANS Browse date ideas and put a night on your shared calendar. Your partner approves it before it lands on both calendars. TRY SOMETHING TOGETHER Short guided exercises you do side by side. The six second kiss. The twenty second hug. A slow dance with no occasion. Most take under ten minutes. PRIVATE CHAT A thread for just the two of you. Notifications never show what a message says. YOUR OWN QUESTIONS Write questions of your own. They go to the front of your partner's deck and stay between the two of you. Couples Ignite is built for two people who have agreed to do this together. Nothing in it is an instruction. Talk first, and stop whenever either of you wants to. Both partners create an account and pair with a six-character invite code.
