Pomia
♥ The couple app, explained

Pomia is a couple app. Here is exactly what it does.

The short answer, the features one by one, the price, where your data lives, and the questions people ask before they install it.


In short

Pomia is a couple app for iPhone. It deals you real places and events around you like a deck of cards and picks the ones that suit the two of you; keep one and it becomes a dated plan; live it and it becomes a polaroid pinned on your map. Around that: one question a day, a shared calendar, goals, time capsules and a small pixel garden. It works entirely on your own, and it is free to start.

What it does

The deck
Real places and events around you — restaurants, exhibitions, walks, concerts, flea markets — dealt one card at a time. Swipe right to keep, left to pass, up to give it a date. The deck learns what the two of you like, and it is the part no other couple app has.
Plans
Everything you keep lands in one list, with a tag, a place and a deadline. Paste a TikTok, Instagram or YouTube link and the outing fills itself in, geocoded and dated.
Memories
An evening you lived becomes a polaroid pinned where it happened, with a photo, a rating out of five hearts and a word from each of you. Your map slowly fills up with the two of you.
Relive
Once you have three memories with a photo, the app deals you a daily deck of about twelve of your own, weighted towards the oldest and the best rated, reshuffled at midnight.
One question a day
One of you asks, the other guesses, and a flame counts the days you both kept it up. Next to it, a sentence for your partner and a mood in five axes. On your own, the question becomes a would-you-rather.
What shall we do?
One plan, not thirty-two: the map names the one closest to both of you at once, said in minutes rather than kilometres, and a near deadline comes first.
And the rest
A calendar of your dates and anniversaries, goals with progress and trophies, time capsules buried until their date, a pixel garden with two characters and mini games, iOS widgets, and story cards to share.

Pomia, in plain words

What it is
A couple app for iPhone, and one place for the whole thing: it picks what the two of you do next, plans it, then keeps it as a memory on your map. Made by two people, for two.
Who it is for
Couples who want to do more together, and anyone on their own who wants to keep what they live. Everything works solo, and follows you the day you pair up.
What it costs
Free to start: five discoveries a day, and limits on photos, plans and capsules. A share, paid per person, lifts your own limits; two shares lift the couple’s. Monthly or yearly, cancel any time, and nothing is ever deleted.
Where it runs
iPhone first, on the App Store soon. Android later. Six languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German and Italian, down to the widgets and notifications.
Where your data lives
On servers in Frankfurt, in the European Union. No advertising, no data brokers, no tracking. Only what you type or switch on is stored, and your account is deleted in one gesture.
Who makes it
Two people who use it every day. Write to contact@pomia.app, a real person answers.

Questions people ask

Is Pomia free?

Yes, to start, and with no advertising anywhere. The free tier gives five discoveries a day and limits on photos, plans, dates and capsules. A share, paid per person, lifts your own limits; two shares in the couple lift the shared ones. Stopping a subscription never deletes anything — it only stops the counters going up.

Do both of us have to pay?

No. One share lifts the limits of whoever paid, and two shares lift the couple’s limits for both of you — so one of you can cover the other. A share follows the person and not the couple, which means it survives a parting.

Does the app work on my own?

Entirely. The deck, the plans, the memories, the map, the calendar, the goals and the garden all work with nobody else in them, and the question of the day becomes a would-you-rather. Everything you wrote alone follows you the day your partner joins, and stays yours.

Does it work for long-distance couples?

Yes, for most of it. The map shows both of you wherever you are, the question of the day, the daily sentence and the mood need no shared room, and a time capsule is made for waiting. Only the deck assumes you are going out in the same town — and it still works for each of you separately.

Is there a couple app that finds real places to go?

That is the one thing Pomia was built for. The deck reads real venues and dated events around you — from Google Places, OpenStreetMap, OpenAgenda and Ticketmaster — and ranks them against what the two of you have liked before. Of the eleven couple apps we compared, none of the others does it.

Where is my data stored?

On servers in Frankfurt, in the European Union. There is no advertising, no data broker and no tracker in the app. Your position is only shared if you switch it on, and only with your partner. Deleting your account is one gesture inside the app, and it is immediate and final.

Is Pomia on Android?

Not yet. It is an iPhone app first, coming to the App Store soon, and Android comes after. The app and this site are both in six languages, down to the widgets and the notifications.

How is it different from Paired or Between?

Those two are built around talking: a question a day, a chat, a shared album. Pomia is built around doing — it picks a real outing near you, gives it a date, and keeps it as a memory once you have lived it. It also has the daily question, but that is the side dish rather than the meal.
