## What is PairNook?

PairNook is a private little home for the two of you — and no one else.

Unlike group chats and social apps, PairNook is built for exactly two partners. Your conversations are end-to-end encrypted, which means only the two of you can ever read them. Not advertisers. Not us. There are no feeds, no followers, no strangers — just your space.

PRIVATE CHAT
• End-to-end encrypted messages, photos, and voice
• Voice and video calls between the two of you
• Read receipts, typing, reactions — the little things
• Recover your history on a new phone with your recovery key

PLAY TOGETHER
• Two-player games: Tic-Tac-Toe, Connect Four, Dots & Boxes, Five in a Row
• Couple games: Would You Rather, Guess Me, and a daily Question for Two
• Turns sync live and nudge you when it's your move

PLAN YOUR LIFE
• Shared to-dos, groceries, reminders, and a couple calendar
• Track dates, anniversaries, and birthdays — with gentle reminders
• Split expenses, save places to visit, keep notes and links
• A shared journal and weekly recap of your week together

STAY CLOSE
• Home-screen widget with your next date and streak
• "Thinking of you," arrive-home pings, and an SOS with location
• A private vault for passwords and documents — encrypted

Your relationship is nobody's business but yours. PairNook keeps it that way.

Calls that keep up with you
Your call now keeps running when you switch apps — check a message or look something up without your partner losing you.

A safer vault
Passwords, photos and documents now unlock with Face ID, and stay hidden from screenshots and the app switcher.

More ways to save and share
Add documents straight from your camera, and save or share photos and files.

Your dates, in your calendar
Optionally mirror your shared events into a PairNook calendar on your phone.

A smoother start together
Pairing is easier: your invite code survives a restart, is simple to share, and you can start over any time.

Plus fixes across chat, reminders and money.

### 1.6.0 — 2026-08-14

Video comes to PairNook!

• Send videos in chat — recorded or from your library, end-to-end encrypted like everything else
• Switch a voice call to video (and back) mid-call — with your partner's consent
• See when your partner's phone is actually ringing: Calling → Ringing, just like you'd expect
• Read everything in your Life section — notes, lists, plans — even with no connection
• Sharper call reliability: faster connects, better recovery on flaky networks
• Many small fixes and polish throughout
