Connection Cards is designed to be used together in person. One person holds the device and reads prompts aloud, or you can pass the phone back and forth. For long-distance relationships, screen share during a video call.

Connect Mode offers conversation presets designed to build and strengthen relationships: Spark (light reconnection), Deepen (vulnerable questions), Play (fun activities), Closeness (intimacy), Vision (future planning), Repair (after conflict), and Dinner Party (group conversations).

For most couples, we recommend starting with Spark - it's lighter and helps you reconnect without feeling too intense. Once you're comfortable, try Deepen for more meaningful conversations. Use Repair only when you're ready to address specific conflicts.

The Spicy toggle (available for romantic relationships) adds more intimate prompts to your session. When off, prompts focus on emotional connection. When on, you'll see prompts that explore physical intimacy and desire in a tasteful, non-graphic way.

Absolutely. Select 'Friendship' or 'Family' as your relationship type and you'll get prompts specifically designed for those connections. The Dinner Party preset is perfect for group gatherings.

Reveal Mode provides conversation prompts for sensitive mental health topics including depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, loneliness, and self-worth. These prompts help you have supportive conversations without judgment.

No. Reveal Mode is a conversation tool, not a mental health treatment. It can help you talk about difficult topics with loved ones, but it's not a substitute for professional mental health care. If you or someone you know is struggling, please seek help from a qualified professional.

Use Reveal Mode when you want to have supportive conversations about mental health. Choose the relevant topic, read prompts together, and take your time. Remember that both people can pass on any prompt that feels too difficult.

Yes. Each Reveal Mode topic includes links to professional resources. For immediate crisis support, contact the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988 in the US) or your local emergency services.

Yes. All prompts are reviewed to ensure they're emotionally safe and consent-forward. We never include prompts that diagnose mental health conditions, score relationships, advise ending relationships, or contain explicit sexual content.

Every prompt session includes a 'Pass' button. If any prompt feels uncomfortable for either person, simply pass and move to the next one. There's no pressure to answer every question.
