Made by a couple, for couples.

Neil was in New Jersey and Yeng was in Manila. One glitchy movie night later, Tandem began. Now it's yours too.

With love, Neil and Yeng

Private by design. No public feed, no followers and no ads. Your space is just for you and the partner you invite, and you can delete it together at any time. Our privacy promise

Questions, answered.

Want more ideas? Read the couples guides.

Is Tandem really free?

Yes, free forever, for both of you. The free plan includes daily moments, shared habits, chat and stickers, one love letter a day, your pet, two hours of Room time a day, Scrabble and Paint, lists, your calendar, one habit pact and one Ipon challenge. No credit card, ever. Optional extras live inside the app if you ever want more, but you never need them.

Does Tandem work for long-distance couples?

Yes. See your partner's local time, leave letters and messages for later, and take turns in games when your schedules barely overlap. When you are both around, meet in your Room for a movie, karaoke or a focus session. Couples who live together use the same tools for everyday connection.

What can we do in Tandem?

Answer a daily question with text, a photo or your voice, build habits and streaks, write love letters, chat with stickers, raise a pet together, keep photos and voice notes in Moments, make a shared playlist, watch movies in sync, sing karaoke, take photo booth strips, play games, plan dates on your calendar, and keep shared lists, a bucket list, habit pacts and savings challenges.

Which games can we play?

Scrabble, one turn at a time so it works across time zones, and Paint, live together on one canvas. Both have their own chat, and Scrabble keeps your wins and nudges whoever's turn it is.

How do I invite my partner?

Create your account and your shared space, then send your partner the invite link or the six-character code. They sign in with their own account and join your space.

Do we need to download an app?

No. Tandem runs in your browser on iPhone, Android and computers. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app. An App Store version is not currently available. You need an internet connection to stay in sync with your partner.

Are our photos, letters and messages private?

Your space is only for you and your partner. There is no public feed, no followers and no ads. Tandem uses access controls and encryption in transit and at rest; it is not end-to-end encrypted. The privacy policy explains storage, the services we use, and how to delete your space.

Free forever. For both of you.

No card and no ads. The everyday things that keep you close stay free for good.
