## What is Mate?

Mate turns your Home Screen into a little shared space with the people you love.

Create a mat, invite your friends, and fill it together with notes, stickers, photos, GIFs, videos and drawings. Put the mat on your Home Screen as a widget and watch it change whenever someone adds something new. 

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Shared mats: invite friends, a partner or your whole group and build one mat together, with changes showing up live.
• Home Screen widget: your live mat is always one glance away. Pick small, medium or large.
• Draw, write and decorate: handwritten notes, stickers, emojis, photos, GIFs and free drawing.
• Matebot: your voice assistant for mats. Just say what you want to add and it helps you do it.
• AI creativity: turn ideas into stickers and images, make a sticker from your own photo, or get help with handwriting.
• Explore: discover public mats from the community, like them, save them or make your own copy.
• Reactions and comments: react to what your friends add and chat right on top of it.
• Streaks: keep your mat alive day after day with a friend.
• Friends made easy: find friends from your contacts, by username, invite code, link or QR code.
• Invite rewards: when a friend you invited signs up and creates their first mat, you get a week of Premium.
• Notifications: get a gentle nudge when a friend updates your mat.
