Gottman Card Decks
A free digital version of the conversation cards used in The Gottman Institute's "Art and Science of Love" couples workshop. It has 22 decks and more than 1,000 questions, statements and ideas on topics such as appreciation, conflict, intimacy and dreams. There is no tracking or program; you just pull cards and talk. Hard to beat for free.
Love Nudge
The official app of Gary Chapman's The 5 Love Languages. You each identify your love language, set small goals, and the app nudges you to show love in the way your partner best receives it. It is focused on one framework, which is its strength and its limit.
Lovewick
A light, fun app with more than 1,000 couple questions, hundreds of date ideas, research-based tips and a relationship timeline. The free version is generous; Lovewick Plus removes the daily question limit and adds premium question sets.
Couply
Couples quizzes, daily check-ins, a shared calendar and an AI relationship coach. The free tier is a fair start; reviewers note that many features sit behind Premium.
Agapé
A daily question you both answer, plus discussion cards and articles. Unusually, it lets you add friends and family as well as a partner.
MakeChoice
Different from the rest: instead of questions to answer every day, you each take one 10-minute personality test and see how your types fit: how each of you decides, recharges and handles conflict. You can compare with family, friends or teammates too, and get career matches. It is entirely free because it is run by Changing Our Futures, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
A good free combination
- Once: MakeChoice, to understand your differences.
- Weekly: Gottman Card Decks over dinner.
- Daily, if you like habits: Lovewick or Agapé.
For the paid daily-question apps (Paired, Lasting, Relish), see our couples app comparison.
