First Date vs BlackBook

First Date is a private journal for your dating life - not a dating app. Use it alongside the dating apps you already have, or for people you meet in real life. Keep track of who you're talking to, walk into each date with a few good questions, get home safely, and write down how it really went while it's fresh. BEFORE THE DATE - Three questions for tonight, chosen for what you're looking for (casual, long-term, marriage or just exploring) and for the interests you share. Shuffle for another set. - Write a one-line intention ("stay curious, home by ten"). Your reflection asks how it went. - Plan the venue with Apple Maps details and walking-time context. - Conversation prompts in five tones: playful, curious, direct, vulnerable and witty. DURING THE DATE - Safety check-ins: reminders ask if you're home safe. If you don't confirm, a second reminder opens a ready-to-send text to a contact you chose, with the venue. You press send. - A fake incoming call when you need an easy way out, with the caller name you pick. - An offline date-safety guide that works with no signal. AFTER THE DATE - Guided reflection: questions that get past "it was fine", a star rating, how you felt on the way home, and whether you'd see them again. - What felt good and what gave you pause, as tags. - Voice memos with on-device transcripts. - A heads-up when someone has gone quiet, on a threshold you choose. PATTERNS - Quick stats across your own history: dates per person, how long you talk before meeting, how often you leave feeling like yourself. - With Pro: filters by app, venue, pacing, chemistry, follow-up and how you left; month-by-month trends; and written patterns once 10 people are logged. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything you save stays in the app on your iPhone or iPad. There is no account, no server and no sync, so your journal never leaves your device. Voice memos are transcribed on the device. Venue search uses Apple Maps. No analytics or ad SDKs. Add a Face ID lock whenever you like. FIRST DATE PRO - ONE PAYMENT, NO SUBSCRIPTION The journal holds your first 5 people. First Date Pro is a single Lifetime purchase: it lifts that limit and adds deeper filters, month-by-month trends and written patterns. It never renews. Safety check-ins, the fake call, voice memos with transcripts, guided reflection, date-night questions, the Face ID lock, screenshot import and conversation prompts stay in the free journal. NOT A DATING APP First Date does not match you with anyone, host a profile, show a feed or message anyone for you. ABOUT SAFETY Check-ins remind you and pre-fill a message that you send yourself. First Date does not contact emergency services, does not share your live location and is not a monitoring service. If you are in danger, call your local emergency number.

BlackBook is your private dating journal: an encrypted record for the people in your life. Keep the people you're seeing, the dates you've been on, and the little things you never want to forget in one calm, beautiful place that only you can open. Everything stays on your device, encrypted. No ads. No feeds. No one else. WHY BLACKBOOK - Privacy first. Your notes, photos, and details are encrypted on your device before anything is saved. Optional sync stores only ciphertext, and its key is locked with a recovery key that only you hold. - Lock it down. Protect the app with a PIN and Face ID. An optional decoy mode opens an empty version of the app if the wrong PIN is entered, so a glance over your shoulder reveals nothing. - Calm, not cluttered. Designed to feel comfortable and capture-first, so jotting a thought takes a second. KEEP THE WHOLE STORY - Profiles for everyone you're seeing, dating, or keeping in mind, with photos, status, and the details that matter. - Date history with photos, ratings, and notes. - A private gallery with albums for your photos and videos. - A notes timeline to log every interaction. - Flags, vibes, and a "bring up next time" list so you remember what counts. STAY ON TOP OF IT - A Today view surfaces birthdays, reminders, and people worth reaching out to. - Set reminders so nothing slips. - Search across names, notes, and vibes instantly. FREE, WITH AN OPTIONAL UPGRADE BlackBook is fully usable for free on a single device, with unlimited people, notes, dates, photos, reminders, PIN and Face ID lock, and on-device encryption. SUBSCRIPTION BlackBook Pro - $4.99 per month, or $39.99 per year. (US prices. Your own currency and price are shown in the app before you buy.) What BlackBook Pro includes: - Every contact, note and photo kept in sync on all your devices. - Automatic encrypted backups of everything you have saved. - Restore it all on a new phone whenever you need to. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. The subscription renews automatically at the same price unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel it any time in your Apple Account settings. Your life, your book. Kept private.
