Couples’ apps

Intimately Us review: the rebuilt app for married couples

Intimately Us retired its Daily Intimacy Challenge with a line worth pinning to the fridge: “obligation is the opposite of desire.” In October 2026 the app for married couples was rebuilt from scratch, and the checkbox gave way to moods, a weekly menu of ideas, and dares your spouse can answer with a dare of their own.

If you knew the old app, expect some new names. Take the new tour below, then five ways to play it together this week, the fine print worth a minute when one calendar holds both your evenings, and a fair side-by-side with A Little Bit of Corruption.

Updated 28 October 2026

A married couple’s toolkit, from a marriage coach

Intimately Us is an intimacy app for married couples, on the App Store since July 2020. It comes from Get Your Marriage On, founded by Dan and Emily Purcell; Dan is a marriage coach and hosts the Get Your Marriage On podcast. Among the couples’ apps we’ve compared, it’s one of two made for married couples, and it draws its line plainly: it calls itself “100% clean,” with no nudity, no explicit content and “nothing crude,” and “a natural fit for Christian and faith-minded couples.”

Built for two, even if one of you starts

Each spouse shares a comfort level and interests, and the app suggests ideas you’ll both enjoy. You can start on your own, too, which suits the spouse who likes to scout ahead before bringing the other one in.

Why it works for the couples who love it

Two ideas sit under the whole app. The first is permission. Its makers frame intimacy as a gift within marriage, so a tool that stays clean lets devout couples flirt, plan and play without crossing their own lines. The second is anticipation: the developer argues that planning builds anticipation and anticipation feeds desire, and points to a 2025 study in the Journal of Sex Research on planned sex. If the slow build is your favorite part of any evening, our page on tease and denial takes that idea further.

App Store reviewers describe finding it through the podcast or a pastor, and using its nudges to stay deliberate, whether they’re rebuilding closeness after babies or after decades of marriage.

What changed in the October 2026 rebuild

The rebuilt app reached both stores around October 21, 2026, with a new icon right behind it, and its makers announced “the all-new Intimately Us app” on October 23. Here’s what’s inside, as of October 2026.

Make A Move

The Daily Intimacy Challenge is gone. In its place, Make A Move reads where the two of you are in a cycle of five stages: Connect, Plan, Anticipate, Play and Savor. You pick a mood (Sweet, Flirty or Spicy) and it reveals a move. In the makers’ words, there’s “no checkbox and no pressure.” The store listing calls the same feature Your Move.

Dare Your Spouse

The newest toy, and the most playful. You send your spouse a dare, and they can accept it, pass, or counter with a dare of their own. The rule that comes with it is one every couple could borrow: “Passing is always okay.”

The Sexploration List and the Intimacy Style Quiz

Each of you shares what you’d love to explore on the Sexploration List, and the Intimacy Style Quiz tunes what the app suggests to the two of you.

The Intimacy Menu

About once a week, the app plates up a custom menu of ideas, with appetizers, mains, sides and desserts, and you can edit it. It may be the most charming idea in the app: intimacy as a meal you plan together, course by course.

Playground, the calendar and the rest

The bedroom games from the old app live on in Playground. One shared calendar lets you plan and record your intimate time, with custom tags, and with menstrual-cycle tracking that adjusts the suggestions. Around them sit conversation starters, a bucket list and what the store calls “hundreds” of articles.

Challenges earlier in 2026

The app has a habit of turning the calendar into an event. In February 2026 it ran a 14 Days of Sextimacy Challenge, with a Romantic or a Spicy track, points and a leaderboard. March brought a bracket game, bedroom edition. And from June 1 to 9 there were in-app challenges, no subscription needed, ending on what the makers call “the birthday of Intimately Us.”

Five ways to play it together this week

  1. The counter-dare ladder. Send a sweet dare. Your spouse counters one notch flirtier, you counter one notch more, and whoever passes first picks dessert. Keep score on a sticky note, keep passing light, and laugh when the ladder wobbles. Short of a first rung? Borrow one from our dares for couples.
  2. A menu served by the hour. Make the week’s Intimacy Menu the theme of a dinner date at home: the appetizer at seven, the main at eight, dessert whenever you both feel like it. Swap any dish that doesn’t tempt you; the menu is yours to edit.
  3. Book it, then tease it. Put Friday on the shared calendar on Monday, with a custom tag only the two of you understand. Then send one small hint a day: a song, a color, a time. That’s the Anticipate stage, done by hand.
  4. Lists apart, answers together. Fill in the Sexploration List on your own, then compare over a drink, one yes each, taking turns. Want a second starting point? Our Yes, No, Maybe list hides each answer behind a hand-over screen and reveals only the overlap.
  5. Savor on purpose. The cycle ends with Savor, so give it two unhurried minutes: the best moment of the night, and one thing you’d bring back.

A counter-dare to steal

Dare: “Leave me a note somewhere I’ll find it tomorrow morning.”

Counter: “Write it tonight, then read it to me first, in that voice.”

Privacy, the shared calendar and the fine print

The app’s own promise is short: “Your answers and preferences are shared only with your spouse. We never sell your personal information.” Apple’s privacy label lists your email and name as linked to you, crash data and precise location as not linked, and no tracking. Google Play’s label says it may collect personal info, photos and videos, and device IDs, shares no data with third parties, encrypts data in transit, and lets you ask for deletion.

A two-minute checklist

  • The calendar is for two. It’s one calendar shared by both of you, and the app frames cycle tracking as something you navigate together as a couple. Treat it as shared, and log there only what you’d happily say over breakfast.
  • Health details are sensitive. Lock your phone and hide notification previews, so a nudge about Friday doesn’t light up your lock screen in the middle of a family dinner.
  • Location is yours to refuse. The privacy policy says location is collected only with your explicit permission, so you can simply decline the prompt.
  • Private chat lives next door. Messages and photos between the two of you belong to a separate sister app, Just Between Us. Whichever app holds them, the most private pictures are the ones with no face and no telltale tattoo in the frame, and a photo of your spouse is theirs to share, never yours.
  • Expect email. Creating an account opts you into emails, worth knowing if you share an inbox or a family computer.
  • A pass is a full answer. The app’s rule suits every couple: a dare can always be passed, and a yes to one dare isn’t a yes to the next. Checking in is part of the fun, not a break from it.

Is Intimately Us free? Cost and platforms

It’s free to download, and an optional subscription unlocks the full library. Both app stores flag ads and in-app purchases. Store subscriptions are managed through Apple or Google, and the app’s terms call fees non-refundable, so spend a week or two on the free side before you subscribe.

It runs on iPhone and iPad (iOS 15 or later), on Apple-silicon Macs as the iPad app, on Apple Vision, and on Android. On the App Store it’s in English only. Look for “Intimately Us: Couples Game” on the App Store and “Intimately Us - For Couples” on Google Play, both from Get Your Marriage On. It’s made for married couples, and this page, like everything on our site, is written for adults.

Intimately Us and A Little Bit of Corruption: the menu and the map

A word before the table: we make A Little Bit of Corruption, so take our side of it as the view of an interested party. Both apps start from the same respect, where each partner’s comfort comes first and a pass costs nothing. They serve different couples, though, and that’s the useful part.

Beyond the table, each has its own strengths. Intimately Us wraps play in planning: a shared calendar, cycle-aware suggestions, a menu you can edit, conversation starters and a library of articles. A Little Bit of Corruption leans on story: each dare sets a scene for a whole evening; the points you earn in each theme, and awards, can shape what opens later; and a dare can give one spouse a few lines the other doesn’t see.

Which one suits your marriage

Intimately Us may suit you better if…

  • You’re married and want a tool that keeps a clear, clean line, one that sits comfortably with your faith and values.
  • You love a plan: a shared calendar, a weekly menu and cycle-aware nudges sound like exactly your style.
  • You want plenty to explore from day one: games, articles, a bucket list and conversation starters, all in an app you download.
  • You like dares sent openly, from one spouse to the other, with a pass and a counter built in.

A Little Bit of Corruption may suit you better if…

  • You’d rather neither of you ever had to ask first: a like stays private until it’s mutual.
  • Your curiosity runs wider, toward kink or fantasies you haven’t said out loud yet.
  • You like a story that grows from your own choices, one dare opening the next.
  • You’d rather play in the browser, free and without ads.

Plenty of married couples will be happiest with Intimately Us, and that’s a lovely outcome. If you’re still deciding, look at our pages on Ultimate Intimacy and Paired, two more couples’ apps.
