Not Pink - A shared bucket list with active scheduling and planning

Most couples apps send you daily questions. Not Pink helps you do the stuff. A shared bucket list with a 4-phase flow (Align, Plan, Prepare, Relive) that turns "we should do that sometime" into dates on the calendar. Offline-first, built for couples who've been together long enough to know relationships don't run on autopilot.

Hey Product Hunt,

I'm Thomas. I built Not Pink because my partner and I kept having the same conversation. "We should go to Lisbon." "We should try that pottery class." Then nothing happens. "We should" isn't a plan.

Every couples app I tried was a daily-question app or a streak tracker. None of them helped us do things together.

So I built the thing I wanted. Every idea moves through four phases:

  • Align (we both want this)

  • Plan (pick a when and where)

  • Prepare (book it, pack it)

  • Relive (photos and reflections after)

Both partners confirm to advance a phase, which stops one person from dragging the other through life.

A few things under the hood:

  • Offline-first sync via PowerSync. Works on a plane or a rural Airbnb with no signal.

  • Kotlin Multiplatform, so I can ship Android once iOS is stable.

  • No ads, no feed, no streak dashboards pretending to score your relationship.

Would love feedback from makers who've shipped lifestyle or couple apps. If you've got a partner, the test is whether you both open it more than once this week.

@thomas_flad Loved the idea! I'm on Android, would like to take a look when it's available on google play.

Very nice idea and app indeed! I love these kinds of apps that try to do one thing only and do it perfectly well; Very lean, very clean.

A few things:

  • You have a nice product website with a clean domain notpink.app . Please link to it here.

  • What's your pricing model? I'm assuming it's a free trial + subscription model. Please mention your pricing somewhere in your website and in this post.

  • 160 MB seems like a lot for a simple app. Did you minify it?

I am currently single and on Android, but would love to try this in the future.

Congrats on your launch @thomas_flad and all the best for what's next!
