Quick answers
Long-distance planning, answered.
Can long-distance couples use Couple Dates?
Yes. You can plan an online date, agree on a time, and add the call link you already use. Couple Dates keeps the plan and memory; it does not host video calls.
Can Couple Dates check when both partners are free?
If both partners connect Google Calendar and opt in to sharing availability, Couple Dates checks busy and free blocks on each primary calendar. It does not read event names or details, and other calendars or unrecorded plans are not checked.
Does Couple Dates sync dates to Google Calendar automatically?
No. A Google Calendar event is a separate copy that you choose to save, update, or remove. The device-calendar .ics download is also a one-time copy, not a live sync.
Can I bring an Instagram or TikTok date idea into Couple Dates?
Yes. Share or paste a post link and add what caught your eye. Couple Dates only works from what you send; it does not watch or automatically read social media posts.
Are Couple Dates memories public?
No. A shared space is private to its two partners. You can choose to share an individual memory card, but nothing is posted automatically and there is no public feed.
No special occasion needed
