Apps Like Kindu and Kuddl: What to Use Now That Kindu Is Gone

Short answer: Kindu for Couples is no longer listed on the US App Store, so if you are looking for it, you need a replacement. Kuddl is still available, and on the US App Store it is now listed as Kloser: Couples & Relationship. The two apps do different jobs. Kindu was an idea deck: you each swiped through ideas in private, and the app showed only the ones you both liked. Kuddl is a questions and quizzes app: daily couple questions, relationship games, expert tips and check-ins.

Both are good at one part of the problem. Neither one decides what you two actually do, or when. Here is the honest version of each.

If you are only here for the alternative, it is this. Cuplido is the planner half. There is no deck, because there is nothing to browse. You pick what you two miss, and roughly when you're free, and it comes back with a real plan that has an actual time on it, plus a few small moments on your other free days. The couple never picks from a list, so the deciding stops being somebody's job. It is free for a week on iPhone and Android, and the daily question for two stays free forever.

If you miss Kindu: what the deck format got right

It removes the asking. The hardest part of suggesting something is being the one who suggested it. A private double opt-in takes that risk out completely. Nobody has to go first, and nobody gets rejected.

It surfaces overlap you would never have found. Couples routinely discover they both wanted the same thing and neither mentioned it for years. That is a real result and no conversation format reliably produces it.

It is low commitment. Five minutes on the sofa, no scheduling, no planning, no talking required.

If your problem is "neither of us knows how to bring things up", this format is the right tool and you should use it.

Where it stalls

Every deck app ends at the same place: a match. A list of things you both said yes to, sitting in an app.

And then nothing happens, because a match is not a plan. There is no day attached, no time attached, and no decision about which one. Somebody still has to pick, pick a night, make sure that night is actually free, and bring it up anyway, which was the thing the app was supposed to save you from.

Three specific ways it goes quiet:

The deck runs out. Swiping is fun for as long as there are new cards. Once you have been through the meaningful ones, opening the app has no purpose.

Matches pile up. Twenty yeses and no way to choose between them is worse than three. A catalog of possibilities is a to-do list you did not agree to.

Swiping is choosing. This is the part the category never says out loud. The apps sell themselves on ending the "what do you want to do" loop, then hand you a deck to sort. Three hundred ideas is two hundred and ninety-nine decisions nobody asked for. The work moved; it did not disappear.

If you use Kuddl

Kuddl works on the conversation, not on the calendar. It gives you a daily question, games and quizzes (including Love Language and Attachment Style tests), expert tips and scheduled check-ins, made with relationship counselors and coaches. In format it is closer to Paired than to Kindu.

If your problem is that the two of you do not talk about anything real, that format is the right one. What it does not do is decide what you do on Saturday. We wrote a full side-by-side in Cuplido vs Kuddl.

The honest split

Your sentence	The right tool
"We can't bring things up with each other."	An idea deck, where you both say yes in private.
"We want to talk about real things, not logistics."	A questions app, like Kuddl or Paired.
"We have a list of things we both want. We never do any of them."	A planner, not a deck.
"One of us always has to be the one who organizes anything."	A planner, and specifically one that decides.
"We're just bored and it's always Netflix."	A planner.

What a planner does differently

Cuplido starts where the deck stops. It never asks you to browse anything, because there is nothing to browse.

You pick what you miss right now out of five: quality time, communication, fun, adventure, or romance. You tell it when the two of you are usually free, in coarse windows like weekday evenings or Saturday afternoon. No calendar access, no permissions.

Then it decides, which is the part every other format leaves to you:

• A real plan with a day and a time. You know the day and the time at the start of the week, and you find out the plan a day or two before, because what you answer during the week still shapes it. When your answer shaped the plan, the plan says so.
• A few small moments on your other free days. Quiet days are normal and nothing is owed on them.
• One free daily note, a short question you each answer separately and see together, free forever.
• Afterwards, a memory. You each write one line while it is fresh, sealed until both are in, then revealed together and kept with the photo.

No deck, no catalog, no streaks, no score, and nothing that goes overdue while you are busy.

They are not enemies

Worth saying plainly: a deck or a questions app and a planner are not competitors. One helps you learn what you both want, or talk about it. The other gets something into Saturday. Plenty of couples want both.

The mistake is expecting a deck or a question to plan your week. Neither was built to.

Common questions

Is Kindu still available? Kindu for Couples is no longer listed on the US App Store. Other idea deck apps use the same private swipe-and-match format. If you want the app to pick the plan and put it on a day you are both free, that is what Cuplido does.

What happened to Kuddl? Kuddl is still available. On the US App Store it is now listed as Kloser: Couples & Relationship, from the same developer, JustForUs GmbH. The app description still calls it Kuddl.

Is Cuplido an idea deck? No. There is no deck and nothing to browse. You pick what you two miss and when you are usually free, and Cuplido plans the week: a real plan with a day and a time, and small moments on your other free days.

Try the deciding half

The free relationship quiz takes six questions, needs no signup, and tells you which of the five directions to start with.
