Some questions are easier to ask through a card.
Candid is a couples conversation card game for iPhone and iPad — a deck of prompts you draw together, from playful to intimate, designed to make the in-between conversations easier. 18+.
Built for iPhone · iOS 18 and later
How it works
Three things, designed to feel less like an app and more like a deck on a coffee table.
Pick the kind of evening
Four categories — Icebreaker, Deep Truths, Flirty Dares, Intimate. Pick one. Pick all. Switch as you go.
Take turns drawing
The deck shuffles. You draw, you ask, you answer — or you pass. There's no scoreboard and no "winning."
Match Desires, only when you both agree
Each of you picks privately. Candid only ever shows you what you both chose. Nothing one-sided. Nothing pressured.
Made with care for two
Small touches that matter when the conversation is real.
Themed packs
Decks built for the moments that matter — anniversaries, long distance, reconnection.
Desires match
Pick what you're curious about, in private. Candid only reveals what you both chose.
Custom cards
Write prompts that only the two of you would think to ask. Save them to your own deck.
Always private
No accounts and no servers. Gameplay stays on your phone; Daily Notes travel end-to-end encrypted through your own iCloud.
Pause anytime
Every prompt is a choice. Pass, switch packs, put it down. The pace is yours.
Optional Adults Only pack
Explicit prompts gated behind in-app age confirmation and per-session consent for both partners.
Honest by design
What we promise, so you know what you're getting before you download.
Generous free play
The full Original deck and more, with no daily limit. You won't hit a paywall in the middle of a game.
One subscription for two
One person subscribes and you both play. New subscribers can try the monthly plan at a reduced price for the first month.
No account, no ads, no coins
Nothing to sign up for, nothing to top up, and nothing interrupting the moment.
Decks that keep going
463 cards that never repeat until you've seen them all, with progress shown for every pack and new ones on the way.
Free to play. Premium when you want more.
The Original deck and a free tier of Desires are yours forever. Premium unlocks the rest.

Stays on your phone.
No accounts and no servers we run. Card draws, Desire selections and custom prompts stay on the phone in front of you. Daily Notes travel only if you link with your partner, and then end-to-end encrypted through your own iCloud. No advertising SDK, no tracking prompt, no third-party code. The privacy policy spells out the whole picture, including the little this website itself sees.
Questions you might be asking
Is it really private?
Yes. The app has no accounts and no servers we run. Card draws, Desires picks, custom cards and your settings live in your phone's local storage and are removed if you uninstall. Daily Notes travel only if you link with your partner, end-to-end encrypted through your own iCloud. There's no advertising SDK and no tracking: ads are measured only through Apple's own SKAdNetwork, which never says who you are. We never see your name, email, or payment information.
What's included for free vs. with Premium?
Free covers the Original card deck and two Desires categories with no time limit and no account. Candid Premium unlocks every themed pack (Anniversary, Long Distance, Reconnection, Date Night, Long Haul, Early Days), the full Desires catalogue, unlimited custom prompts, higher-intensity Intimate decks, and an optional Adults Only pack. Available as monthly or annual.
How does the Adults Only pack work?
It contains explicit, scene-based prompts intended for use only between consenting adult partners in private. It's gated by two consent steps: a persistent age confirmation (you affirm both of you are 18+ and have agreed to play) and a per-session consent prompt that resets every time the app is opened. Both gates can be revoked from Settings.
Can I cancel my subscription?
Anytime, from Settings → your name → Subscriptions on your iPhone. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you've already paid for, and you keep access until then. Refunds are handled by Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
Does Candid sync across both partners' phones?
Not in this version. Candid is built for two people sitting next to each other, passing one phone. Long-distance partner sync is on the roadmap but won't ship until we can do it without ever seeing your data.
Who's behind Candid?
Just one person, in Australia. Candid is a side project built carefully, not a venture-funded growth play. If you have a question, the support inbox at support@candid.contact reaches a real human.
