Saath Couples App
A Candle alternative: Saath, a private couples app
Candle is an English-language app of games, photos, questions and date prompts. If you want something without streaks, here is an honest comparison from the Saath team, so we are not neutral, checked on 1 November 2026.
What Candle does well
Candle offers games, photos, questions and date prompts, with widgets and adaptive card decks. Its store listing is in English.
Why people look for an alternative
Candle uses streaks, and its store listing offers a paid streak repair. If a missed day should simply be a missed day, that mechanic can feel like pressure.
How Saath differs
- No ads, no third-party trackers and no streaks. A missed day shows nothing, and nothing is sold back to you.
- Moods and replies. Share how you are and what would help; your partner answers in one tap.
- Plans with a day and time, and answers where a no does not sting: Count Me In, Different Time, Not This Time.
- Free for the most part and completely usable. Paying is only worth considering if you keep a lot of photos.
What Saath does not have yet
Saath is not yet public. It is open by invitation in a web browser, with iPhone and Android apps coming. If you want an app from the store today, Candle is available now.
