Date ideas worth remembering

Stop saving screenshots you never revisit. Discover date ideas by mood, budget, and vibe, then turn the best ones into plans you actually follow through on.

Booking sites help you buy an experience. Otter helps you build a relationship through experiences and keep the story afterwards.

Plan dates together

Turn “we should do that someday” into “it is booked in.” Propose a plan, agree on the details, and commit together.

Less back and forth. More dates that actually happen.

Save the moments privately

Your relationship deserves more than a camera roll. Otter gives you a private shared timeline to save photos, notes, and the little details you will want later.

Random Tuesdays matter too. First dates. Big milestones. Everything in one place, visible only to you and your partner. Start building your timeline today!

Why Otter exists

Most apps help you meet people. Others help you book things. Very few help you build a shared history together. Otter exists so the moments that matter do not disappear into forgotten chats and camera rolls.

Loved by couples building better habits

Couples join every day, planning dates, saving memories, and building their stories.

“We stopped defaulting to the same routine. Now we actually plan, show up, and keep the memories.”

Thomas & Bianca

“It's nice seeing cool places on Instagram & TikTok, but then I have to manage screenshots and saved lists... Otter puts it all in one place it's great”
