Is Tandem free to use?+
Yes. The free plan includes shared habits, daily activities, chat and stickers, one love letter a day, Scrabble and Paint, lists, your calendar, and two hours of shared room time a day. You can keep 20 Moments favorites, 10 playlist songs, and 10 paintings. No credit card is needed. Pro is optional and covers both partners.
Does Tandem work for long-distance couples?+
Yes. See your partner’s local time, leave letters and messages for later, and take turns in games when your schedules overlap less. When you are both around, meet in your shared room for a movie, karaoke, or a focus session. Couples living together can use the same tools for everyday connection.
What can we do in Tandem?+
Answer daily questions with text, photos or voice notes; build habits and streaks; write love letters; chat and send stickers; keep photo memories; make playlists; watch together; sing karaoke; take photo booth strips; play games; plan dates and events; and share lists, bucket-list ideas, habit pacts and savings challenges.
Which games are free, and which need Pro?+
Scrabble and Paint are included in the free plan. Tandem Pro adds Chess, Connect 4, Checkers, Battleship, Quiz and Doodle. Some games are turn-based so you can play across different schedules; others are designed for a live session together.
How do I invite my partner?+
Create your account and a shared space, then send your partner the invite link or six-character code. They sign in and join your space. Each person has their own account, and one Pro plan covers the couple if you decide to upgrade.
Do we need to download an app?+
You can start in your browser on your phone, tablet or computer. Add Tandem to your home screen for an app-like experience. An internet connection is needed to sync with your partner, send messages and use live rooms. Native app-store releases are not currently available.
Are our photos, letters and messages private?+
Your shared space is for you and your invited partner, with no public feed or followers. Tandem uses access controls and encryption in transit and at rest; it is not end-to-end encrypted. The privacy policy explains storage, service providers, analytics and deletion options.
How much does Tandem Pro cost?+
The web plans are ₱129 per month or ₱999 per year for both partners. Pro adds six more games, unlimited room time, higher collection limits, extra letter features, custom Quiz packs and appearance options. You can keep using the free plan if you do not upgrade.
