How It Works

From a blank Friday to a
plan, a passport, and a list.

A few simple steps. 90 seconds of input, then a weekend worth remembering - and a place to keep it.

01

Tell us what fits

Choose the kind of plan - a date, family outing, or stay-in experience. Then answer a handful of quick questions: where you are, when you're free, your budget, preferences, and energy level. The whole thing takes about 90 seconds.

We ask only what we actually use. No account required for your first plan.
02

We find three options

OutDuet uses your inputs to filter real verified places near you, then assembles exactly three distinct plan options - a Best Match, the Easiest Option, and Something Different. Each one is matched to your specific household, not a generic result.

We never invent venues, change operating hours, or fabricate prices. Everything comes from real data.
03

Choose together

Each adult can vote privately - Love it, Works for me, or Not this time. OutDuet shows you when you agree. No pressure, no scoring, no conflict. You pick the one that feels right.

Partner voting is free, like everything else. Your first plan doesn't even require an account.
04

Put it on the calendar

Select your plan and export it directly to Google Calendar or download an ICS file for Apple Calendar or Outlook. Set a reminder so you actually go.

The goal: one meaningful plan per month. OutDuet tracks it for you.
05

Keep it, track it, share it

After you go, mark it on your travel Passport - everywhere you've been and want to go, filling in a real US and world map. Build a personal list of recommendations and send it to any friend by link.

No feed, no follows. Your picks, shared on your terms - and it all lives in one place.

Built around how you actually live

A few principles we don't compromise on.

Real venues, real data

We pre-load verified venue data for your area. OutDuet never invents places, fabricates hours, or makes up prices.

Both partners always matter

Every plan is matched to both of you, not just whoever fills out the form. Partner profiles unlock recommendations that actually fit your household.

Free for you, always

OutDuet is free for couples and families - no credit card, no paywall. Local businesses can promote a spot; you never pay to plan.

Yours to share, not a feed

Your passport and recommendations are a list you send by link when you want - no feed to keep up with, no follows, and we never sell your data.
