NoteDove

Someone you love writes you a note. It appears on your Home Screen and stays there. No feed. No thread to scroll. Nobody you didn't invite. NoteDove is a Home Screen widget that shows short notes — a line of text, a big emoji, or a photo — from a small set of people you have both agreed to. HOW IT WORKS • Invite someone. They accept. That is the entire setup — no account, no username, no password. • Send a note. It lands on their Home Screen, usually within seconds. • The latest ten stay on the widget, newest first. Page through them with the arrows, or clear one with a tap. ONLY THE PEOPLE YOU CHOOSE There is no directory and no discovery. Nobody can find you, add you, or message you out of nowhere. Approval is mutual, and removing someone is instant — enforced by Apple's own sharing system, not by our app code. Muting is separate from removing, and neither tells the other person anything. FOR COUPLES — AND FOR PARENTS "Miss you." "Good luck today." A photo from your afternoon. Or: "Be home by 5." A note on a kid's Home Screen does not get buried under notifications the way a text does. Accounts that iOS reports as under 18 cannot send or receive photos in either direction, and a connection request made by a minor needs a parent or guardian's approval first. PHOTOS ARRIVE BLURRED Every photo, always. The widget only ever receives a deliberately low-resolution version, so the detail is not there to leak. Tap it to open the app and reveal it. A photo the sender marks private needs Face ID or your passcode, can be viewed once, and is deleted afterwards. While one is open, a screenshot captures nothing. YOUR WIDGET, YOUR WAY • Give each person their own colour, gradient or photo, so you know who wrote before you read the name. It stays on your phone. • Tap the heart to keep a note after newer ones replace it. They are not told. • Choose what the widget keeps: the latest ten, the last day or two, or just the newest from each person. • Put more than one widget on your Home Screen — partner on one, family on another. QUIET UNLESS YOU ASK Sounds and banners are off until you turn them on. Your widget updates the moment a note arrives either way. And if a note can't go yet — you're offline, or their iCloud storage is full — NoteDove says so, keeps it, and sends it once that's sorted. WE CANNOT READ YOUR NOTES Notes are written straight into the recipient's own iCloud, in fields Apple encrypts end to end. No server of ours stores or sees them. No accounts. No analytics. No tracking. No ads. The App Store privacy label reads "Data Not Collected," because nothing is. Even the notifications are built this way. The alert carries no content; your phone fetches the note, decrypts it and writes the banner itself. A banner can only say who wrote, never what they said. SEND FROM WHERE YOU ALREADY ARE Ask Siri. Build a Shortcut. Or share text or a link from any app. PRICING, PLAINLY Seven days of everything, free, starting when you first connect with someone. No card required. After that: $19.99 a year, or $49.99 once. Either one includes a Partner Pass — one person you are connected to gets full access without paying. Family Sharing is included too.
