Stories about
nights out.

Long reads from couples — on rooms, rituals, and the art of the reservation.

How do completions differ from reviews?

A completion answers a different question than a review. A review tells future couples whether the spot is good. A completion tells future couples whether the SEQUENCE worked — did the timing make se…

How do completions differ from reviews?

A completion answers a different question than a review. A review tells future couples whether the spot is good. A completion tells future couples whether the SEQUENCE worked — did the timing make se…

Can I make my plan visible only to friends?

Yes. Every plan has four privacy levels: - **Private** — only you can see it. Default for new drafts. - **Friends** — visible to people you've followed who follow you back. - **Followers** — visible …

Can I edit a published plan?

Yes — you can swap stops, reorder, change the description, update the cover image. The plan keeps its URL, ratings, and completion count. One caveat: if a couple has already completed the plan, their…

How does forking a plan work?

Every public plan has a Fork button. Tap it, and we copy the plan into your drafts as a private starting point. Swap stops, change the order, write your own tips — your edits stay private until you pu…

What are the rules for stops between walks?

There aren't hard rules, but here's what works for most couples: - **Walking distance**: under 800m between consecutive stops, ideally under 400m. - **Total walk per night**: 1.5–3 km feels right; ov…

How does scheduling a plan work?

Open the plan, tap Schedule a date, pick the night. We add it to your couple dashboard, send a 3-day-before reminder, a day-of brief, and a day-after "how was the night?" prompt that links to the comp…

How do I log a completion?

After you've done a plan, open it and tap "Log completion." The form is intentionally short: - **Which stops did you actually do?** Check the boxes — partial completions count. - **Did you swap any?*…

What do tags and seasons do on a plan?

Tags are how couples find your plan when they're searching with intent ("romantic", "first-date", "low-key"). You can pick up to 8 from the standard set; we don't allow free-text tags because consiste…

What's the difference between Private, Friends, Followers, and Public?

**Private** — only you. Default for new drafts. **Friends** — couples you follow who follow you back. Mutual relationships only. **Followers** — anyone who follows you, regardless of whether you follo…

Wizard vs build-from-scratch — which should I use?

**The wizard** is six questions, sixty seconds. We hand you back three plans tailored to your city, occasion, budget, and vibe. Best when you don't have a clear idea yet and want a starting point. **…

What is Live Mode?

Live Mode is the screen we show on a date, not before it. It's mobile-first by design — nobody opens a laptop on a date. It shows the current stop big, the next stop small, all stops collapsed below …

Can my partner help me build a plan?

Yes. If your partner account is linked, every draft is visible to both of you. They can edit it the same way you can — add stops, reorder, write tips. Auto-save means whoever is in the editor sees the…
