## What is duonota?

Your partner's love living on your home screen.

DuoNota isn't another chat app you'll forget to open. It turns your phone's home screen and lock screen into a window to your partner. Hand-drawn notes, photos, moods — always there, always waiting.
No typing "wyd?" No managing another inbox. Just a quiet, visual line between you and the person you love.

WHY COUPLES ARE SWITCHING
• Home Screen Widget: Your partner's drawings and notes show up directly on your home screen. You'll see them every time you pick up your phone — no app to open, no notification to chase.
• Lock Screen Love: Their latest note greets you the moment you wake up, right on your lock screen.
• Mood Sharing: One tap to let them know how you're feeling — "Cuddly," "Missing You," "Thinking of You" — without writing a single word.
• Streak & Challenges: Build a daily drawing habit together. Fun prompts keep things fresh even when life gets routine.
• End-to-End Encrypted: AES-256 encryption on every note. We can't read your messages. No ads, no data selling, no tracking. Your intimacy stays yours.
• One Subscribes, Both Unlock: When one partner goes premium, the other gets everything too. No "partner tax."


BUILT FOR RELATIONSHIPS THAT NEED MORE THAN TEXTING
• Long-distance couples: Send notes that cross time zones and arrive on their screen before they wake up.
• Military & deployment families: A private, encrypted lifeline that works even when calls and video can't.
• Neurodivergent partners: A calm, visual anchor — no walls of text, no overwhelming inbox. Just one beautiful note at a time on your home screen.
• Busy couples living together: Replace the "running late" text with a doodle that makes them smile.

WHAT'S FREE
• 3+ notes per day
• 7-day note history
• Full widget support
• Mood sharing, streaks & challenges

WHAT'S PREMIUM
Unlimited history, photo uploads, read receipts, widget themes, premium challenges, and more.
