Simply Match It!

Simply Match It is a fast, family-friendly card game where you race to find the one emoji both cards share... before anyone else does.

My favorite part? Hearing the kids grumble when someone else beats them to it.

Calm Tech for real life.

Quick to learn.
Hard to put down.

Free to play! No ads, no fuss. Try Simply Match It!

Available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Why I Built This

It started with a livestream. I watched Paul Hudson build a two-player emoji matching game called Twinmoji during a Hacking with Swift birthday stream... and I couldn't stop thinking about how much my kids would love it.

So I built my own version. Then I kept going.

I wanted something colorful, fast, and satisfying that the whole family could pick up in seconds. No ads. No clutter. Just quick rounds of playful chaos and the very satisfying moment when you spot the match first.
