Standing Date: Date Ideas

"What do you want to do tonight?" "I don't know, what do you want to do?" Twenty minutes later you're back at the same taco place, again.

Standing Date is a date night ideas app built to stop that conversation before it starts and make date night fun again. Draw one real date idea for couples — no list to scroll, no quiz first — turn it into a plan, and keep a standing date so the app reminds you before every one. Works the same in a small town as it does downtown; nothing depends on a city database.

One tap. One good idea. Every time.

ONE TAP, NOT A QUIZ
Most date night apps ask a dozen questions first, or dump a wall of date ideas near me and call scrolling "help." Standing Date does neither. Tap once and draw one idea from six kinds — talk, play, make, move, taste, explore — filtered by in or out, cost, how long you have, energy, a kid asleep at home, and the season. Don't love it? Redraw, free. Say yes and it's your plan.

A REAL PLAN, NOT JUST AN IDEA
An idea you keep becomes a plan: steps to follow, what to bring, and date night games for couples — free with every plan. One tap adds it to your calendar, and a share button sends the plan to your partner.

KEEP A STANDING DATE
Pick a cadence — Friday, every other week, monthly, or your own interval — and Standing Date becomes a real date night planner: days since your last date, a streak that only bumps when a date actually happens, and anniversaries and key dates with a reminder before each one.

YOUR OWN DATE JAR
Add your own ideas to a date jar — pick the kind, where, cost, duration and energy — and they enter the same draw as the built-in library, so a running joke becomes a real option on a Tuesday.

ONE PHONE IS ENOUGH
Everything above works on one phone, alone — no account, ever. If your partner wants in, link their phone with a six-character code, and your standing date, current plan, jar and memories move between both phones, live. Nobody signs up, and nobody pays twice.

SURPRISE DATES
Plan a whole night in secret. Standing Date Plus locks the plan behind your phone's own screen lock, then sends your partner one clue at a time, in your own words, right up until the surprise date arrives — a real surprise date planner, not pre-written riddles.

SEASONAL DECKS AND THE FULL LIBRARY
The free library holds 150 hand-written date ideas for couples. Plus unlocks the full 600 and four seasonal decks — autumn, holidays, a heat wave, a rainy day — browsable on their own whenever the season calls for it.

WHERE TO EAT
Dinner date, or just lunch on a Tuesday: tap Where to eat and one real restaurant comes up, near you and open right now. Thumbs up, thumbs down or Another, and it learns your taste. It asks before using your approximate location, or type a city instead. Three picks a day are free.

A SCRAPBOOK, BUILT IN
Save a memory after every date — a photo, a rating from each of you, a short note — and Plus builds a printable yearbook from your whole history, ready to save or print.

FREE, AND WHAT PLUS ADDS
Free, forever: the daily draw and every filter, a full plan, your own date jar, a standing-date cadence with reminders, key dates, and a scrapbook.
Plus adds: the full 600-idea library and four seasonal decks, Surprise dates, three challenges (A to Z, monthly, one of each kind), the printable yearbook, unlimited restaurant picks with Two thumbs (deal four, you both vote), and creating a pairing code (joining is free). Monthly or yearly with a 7-day trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase — cancel anytime.

NO ADS. NO ACCOUNT. NO CITY LIST.
No ads, ever. No sign-up or email required. Its date ideas for couples work the same in any town. Nothing about it is a chatbot or an "AI" deciding for you: a small rule-based engine on your phone learns what you both say yes to, and what it learns stays there unless you link a partner.

Married ten years, new parents, or just tired of arguing with your coats already on: date night decided, not debated. Tap once, and go.

After a kept date, a recap card to share: "Date 14: we did…". And the standing date now goes on both your calendars: Act II sends one invite (.ics) with the repeat built in.
