The Couples Checklist
Date Nights, Trips & Wishlist
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
The Couples Checklist is the easiest way to stop saying "we should go there" — and actually go.
Keep every date idea in one place you both can see, turn any idea into a real plan in a tap, and discover new spots wherever you are.
ADD A SPOT IN SECONDS
Type a place and we find the real venue instantly, or paste a Google Maps, Apple Maps, or Instagram link and we pin it exactly. No more retyping addresses or losing that restaurant you saw on a reel.
IDEAS, THEN PLANNED
Your wishlist splits into Ideas and Planned. Set a time and date on any idea and it becomes a real plan — complete with directions and add-to-calendar built right in.
MAKE A NIGHT OF IT
Line up a drink before or dessert after the spot you're already going to, or tap Surprise me and we'll pick one nearby. The little moments, already sorted.
DISCOVER, ANYWHERE
Browse real date spots by category — restaurants, bars, museums, parks, and more — near you or in any city you're about to visit. Land with a plan, not a question.
THE "US" TAB
Your relationship at a glance: an anniversary countdown, your date-night streak, shared rewards you're working toward together, and milestone celebrations for your days together.
MEMORIES
Every date you actually do becomes a memory you keep. Watch your year together fill up.
Stop scrolling. Start dating again.
more Restaurant, ticket, and activity links now open in a built-in browser instead of leaving the app, so you can book and come right back to your checklist.
General performance and stability improvements.
2.1 Jul 19
A whole new look. We gave The Couples Checklist a top-to-bottom redesign, a warm romantic dark theme across every tab, screen, and modal in the app.
Real, hand-picked city guides. Our curated date-spot lists got a full refresh across 19+ cities, so Explore surfaces spots that are actually worth the trip.
A smarter Trip Planner. Day-by-day itineraries, vacation days that break into time blocks, suggested itineraries, a new Travel Savings Goal, and bucket list items you can tag to a specific trip.
Gifts, made easier. A refreshed Gifts tab brings your partners wishlist and a bigger curated shop catalog together in one place.
Meal Wheel. Cant decide where to eat? Spin the wheel. Premium.
Plus smaller touches throughout: Memories now leads the Us tab, milestones and rewards are easier to see, and a handful of rough edges got smoothed out.
2.0 Jul 17
Big one. Trips got a whole glow-up, plus a smarter way to decide where to go tonight.
DELUXE TRIP PLANNER
Build a real day-by-day itinerary for every trip - flights, hotel, and transport all live in one logistics checklist, with a timeline that lines up your arrival, check-in, and pickup automatically once you book. Tag wishlist ideas for a specific trip, then let Premium suggest a starter itinerary built from everything you have already saved.
CAN'T DECIDE WHERE TO GO?
Meet the Meal Wheel - shortlist your favorites and spin to let fate pick tonight's date.
A FRESHER LET'S GO
Rebuilt around Dining, Experiences, and Stay In, plus curated Bucket Lists pulled from the world's best date guides.
SMOOTHER EVERYWHERE
Fixed a handful of quiet bugs - a pair-code screen that wouldn't open for couples who hadn't set one yet, suggestion cards that skipped past Explore instead of routing into it, and a seasonal filter that forgot to scroll to your results.
Less tapping, more going places together.

Date night, decided.
NEW: "What should we do?!"
One button on your Wishlist plans the night for you. Tell us when, how far, and food/fun/both, and we hand you one great idea instead of an endless list. Going out? We surface a real spot nearby, ranked by what's open, well-loved, close, and new to you two. Pick "Both" and we'll plan a two-stop night: dinner, then somewhere sweet a short walk away. Staying in? We've got cozy at-home ideas too. Can't decide? Tap "Just pick for us."
A SMARTER EXPLORE
- New "Well-loved" badges so the spots couples adore stand out at a glance
- "Surprise Me" now leans toward higher-rated places: a delight, not a gamble
