Deep Connections: 5 modes. One-time price. No subscription. Free to start.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Tommy, the maker. I built Deep Connections because every relationship app I tried ran the same playbook: weekly subscription, push notifications to drive "streaks," gamification built to keep you in the app instead of with the person across from you. The opposite of what connection actually needs. So I made the version I wanted to use: 🎴 Five modes, each tuned for a different kind of conversation: • Deep Conversation — open-ended, cuts through small talk (this one's free) • Debate — structured back-and-forth on real questions • Couple Spark — light, playful, date-night • Couples Deep — vulnerability and history • Couple Flames — intimate, between partners (18+) Deep Conversation and Debate aren't couples-only — they work for friends, family, a first date, any table. The three "Couple/Couples" modes are for two. 💰 One-time $14.99 unlocks everything. Forever. No subscription, no "premium plus," no seasonal upsell. If you keep using it in 5 years, you paid once. 📵 Anti-app design. Pure black background, one question card on screen, no streaks, no notifications, no infinite scroll. Built to be set face-down between turns. 👥 Host-pay multiplayer. Like Kahoot — one premium player unlocks the room for everyone else. Made for nights with friends, not per-person paywalls. I built the whole thing with my partner as the first tester. We've used it on every long road trip for the last six months. Debate mode surprised us most — something about "90 structured seconds each" lets us talk about things we'd usually skirt. It's live on both stores now — iOS since April, Android this week. Free to try (Deep Conversation is the full free experience — no time limit, no nag). If it sticks for one night around a table, $14.99 is probably worth it. Happy to answer anything — design choices, the no-subscription philosophy, the absurd font experimentation that went into the question cards. 🙏 — Tommy

Launching Tuesday: a conversation-card app with no subscription (the opposite of a dating app)

Hey PH solo maker here. Deep Connections is a conversation card game for couples, friends, and groups five modes from icebreakers to deep questions to structured debates. Pure black screen, one question at a time, no notifications, no streaks. $14.99 once, forever no subscription.

iOS is live, Android just landed. We launch here Tuesday (Jun 16). Following the page means PH pings you when it's live and I'd genuinely love feedback from this crowd on the no-subscription bet before launch day.
