Date night

# Date night ideas you swipe together.

Date night in Ourio is a deck of 150 date ideas that you and your partner swipe on your own iPhones. When you both love an idea, it lands in “You both loved these”. Plan it for a day, get a reminder a day and an hour before, and rate it afterwards. 74 of the ideas are free.

Coming soon to the App Store

## How it works

1. ### Swipe on your own
 Each of you goes through the ideas when you have a minute: love it or skip it.
2. ### Match
 An idea you both love moves to “You both loved these”. Each match earns 10 coins.
3. ### Plan it
 Pick a day, or make it a surprise with a hint. Reminders come a day and an hour before.
4. ### Rate it
 After the date, rate it to mark it done. That earns 30 coins.

## 150 ideas, for every kind of evening

Every idea says where it happens, what it costs and how long it takes. Filter the deck, or tap Surprise us and let Mochi pick.

## Dates for when you're apart

Fifteen ideas are made for long distance: a synced movie night with the call on, cooking the same recipe in two kitchens, a same-sky walk at sunset, an online quiz night, reading the same book, touring each other's rooms.
