How it works
Three steps. Dote does the tedious bits.
Share it
Spot something good on TikTok, Instagram or the web and share it straight to Dote, or tap + and jot down a quick note. It lands in your Date Jar for you both, and Dote fills in the details.
Sort it
Dote's AI fills in the place, the kind of date, a rough cost and whether it's indoors or out. Give it a quick look, pop it in the Date Jar, and filter for what suits Saturday.
Remember it
When you've been, add photos and each write your take, and the dates you go on become a private scrapbook of memories.
A look inside

Questions, answered
What is Dote?
Dote is a date-ideas app for couples. You save date ideas you find on TikTok, Instagram or anywhere on the web into one shared date jar, Dote fills in the details with AI, and you pick one to do based on distance, cost, mood and the weekend weather. Dates you go on become a private scrapbook of memories.
What happens to my data?
Dote collects as little as possible: no tracking and no selling your data. Your location never leaves your phone. Your ideas and memories are private to you and your partner, and you can export your data or delete your account at any time from Settings.
Is Dote for LGBTQ+ couples too?
Yes. Dote is for any couple, whatever your genders or orientation. It's built for two people sharing date ideas, and that's the only requirement.
Is Dote accessible?
We're working hard on it. Dote follows your phone's accessibility settings, including dark mode, larger text, Reduce Motion, Increase Contrast, VoiceOver, TalkBack and Voice Control. Our accessibility statement says what works today, what we're still fixing and how to tell us if something gets in your way.
How much does Dote cost?
Dote is free, with no trial and no time limit. Premium, for unlimited photos and the extras, is from £1.99 a month or £14.99 a year in the UK, and one subscription covers you both. Prices vary by country, and the app shows yours. Cancel any time from the App Store or Google Play.
