Cupla brings together the tools couples use most often to plan life together. This article walks through each of the core features in more detail.
Shared Calendar
Cupla's calendar connects to the calendars you already use and shows your schedule and your partner's side by side in a single view, so you can see where you're both free and where you're not.
Calendar aggregation: Sync Google, Outlook, Apple, and any other calendars on your device. Cupla pulls everything into one unified view rather than asking you to maintain a separate shared calendar.
Side-by-side view: See your schedule alongside your partner's, with shared events and date nights highlighted.
Direct Connect or Device Calendars: Choose how each calendar connects — directly to Google or Outlook (off-device) or via the calendars already on your phone. See What is the difference between Direct Connect and Device Calendars?
Per-calendar privacy: For each calendar you sync, choose whether your partner can see event details or just that you're busy. See Choosing what calendars to sync to Cupla.
Shared events and dates: Create events for you, your partner, or both. Shared events sync back to your device calendar so they appear everywhere. See How do I create a shared event or date?
Tags: Label events for a child, pet, or activity, then filter by tag to find them quickly. See How do I tag my events?
Recurring events: Set up custom recurring events with flexible repeat rules. See How do I create a custom recurring event?
To-dos & Lists
Shared and individual to-do lists for everything from household chores to long-term projects, with the option to create custom lists for any purpose.
Individual and shared to-dos: Create tasks for yourself, your partner, or both of you.
Priorities, labels, and due dates: Customise each to-do with priority levels, labels, and deadlines.
Repeating to-dos: Set tasks to repeat at any frequency, with custom patterns if needed. See How do I create a to-do that repeats?
Custom lists: Create lists beyond the defaults for anything you'd like to track together. See How do I create a new list?
Calendar integration: To-dos with due dates appear in your calendar so they don't get lost.
Grocery List
A dedicated shared shopping list designed for couples, with whoever's at the store seeing live updates in real time.
Real-time sync: Add an item from home and it appears instantly on your partner's phone at the store.
Aisle order: Items are automatically grouped by supermarket aisle so you can shop top to bottom without backtracking.
Common items database: Add items quickly by selecting from a built-in database of common groceries.
Favourites: Save items you buy regularly for one-tap adding next time.
Categories: Items can be added by category to keep the list organised.
Cupla AI
Cupla AI is an in-app assistant designed specifically for couples. You can chat with it conversationally to plan together, get ideas, or take an unstructured stream of thoughts and turn them into structured plans and tasks.
Brain dump: Share a stream of thoughts — what's on your mind, what's coming up, what needs to happen — and Cupla AI will turn them into events, to-dos, and plans.
Plan a date: Ask Cupla AI to plan a date and it will suggest ideas, find a time that works for both of you, and add it to your calendar.
Suggest date ideas: Get personalised date suggestions based on your preferences, the time available, and where you are.
Find free time: Ask when you and your partner are both free, and Cupla AI will check both schedules.
Add events and to-dos via natural language: Describe what you need to add in plain English and Cupla AI will create the event or task for you.
Answer questions about your schedule: Ask anything from "what's on this weekend?" to "when did we last go on a date?"
Gift and wishlist ideas: Get help brainstorming gift ideas or building out wishlists for special occasions.
Conversational chat: Use Cupla AI for general help with planning, decisions, or anything else couples coordinate on.
Wishlists
Wishlists are a shared space for everything you and your partner want to do, try, or buy together — from date night ideas and weekends away to travel plans, gift ideas, and home inspiration.
Default and custom Wishlists: Cupla starts you off with a set of default lists, and you can create your own with a custom name and cover image.
Import from TikTok, Instagram, and the web: When you find inspiration on social media or any website, tap Share and select Cupla. Cupla pulls the key details into your Wishlist automatically.
Add custom items: Add your own Wishlist items with details and an image directly in the app.
Privacy at every level: Each Wishlist can be set as shared with your partner or kept private, and within a shared list, individual items can also be marked private — useful for gift planning or surprise dates.
Partner notifications: Your partner is notified whenever you add a new shared item.
Share with other couples: Share a read-only link to a Wishlist with other couples. The shared view stays live, so any updates you make to the Wishlist will appear for them automatically — handy for trading date night recommendations or travel inspiration with friends.
Date Planner
A dedicated tool for staying intentional about quality time together, built around setting and tracking a regular date cadence.
Date goals: Set a target for how often you want to go on a date (for example, once a week or once a fortnight).
Progress tracking: Cupla tracks your dates against your goal so you can see how you're going.
Reminders: Get gentle nudges when it's been a while since your last date.
Plan dates easily: Tag any shared event as a date and it counts towards your goal. See How do I create a shared event or date?
Key Dates & Countdowns
Track the dates that matter most and build anticipation for what's coming up.
Key Dates: Add anniversaries, birthdays, trips, and other milestones important to you both.
Custom imagery: Personalise each Key Date with your own image.
Home screen countdowns: See countdowns to upcoming Key Dates on your Cupla home screen, and on your phone's home screen using the Countdown widget. See What widgets are available in Cupla?
Reminders: Never miss an anniversary, birthday, or milestone.
