About
Pal Itch is the fastest way to say "thinking of you." One tap sends a gong to a friend's phone. No feeds, no chats, no algorithms — just your five closest people.
HONG
Pick a friend, tap the gong. Their phone rings with the Pal Itch sound and they can gong you right back from the notification. Hold the gong to say what and when: "Coffee? · in an hour." They answer from the banner — On my way, or Can't now.
SAY WHAT YOU'RE FREE FOR
Set a status for 30 minutes, an hour, or the day — coffee, a walk, FaceTime, board games. Friends who are free show up first, with a green ring. A status is context, never a gate: a gong always gets through.
FIVE FRIENDS, NOT A NETWORK
Add people by @username, link or QR. The limit is five on purpose — this is for the friends you actually see.
GONG THE WHOLE CREW
Put up to four friends in a group and gong everyone at once. Tap a member to gong just them. One group is free.
YOUR OWN SOUND
Pick the gong your friends hear when you ring them — the Pal Itch singing bowl, brass, temple, bell and more.
PAGER (PAL ITCH PRO)
Type a line of up to 60 characters, or send a code — 143 (love you), 707 (LOL), 07734 (hELLO) — to one friend, to everyone, or to a group. It lands in their notification; press and hold it to see the line on a little LCD screen in a brass pager. With Pro you can also write back right from a notification and say your status in your own words — friends see it on a small LCD strip while you're free. Reading is free: anyone can read a line and answer it with one tap — On my way, Can't now or HONG BACK.
FREE FOREVER
The gong, "what & when", your status, five friends, one group of your own and every gong sound are free forever. Pal Itch Pro adds the Pager, the codes, Write back, your own status line and more groups.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your status is visible only to friends who accepted you. No location, no contacts upload, no ads. Delete your account any time from Settings — everything is removed immediately.
Pal Itch needs notifications to work: a gong is a push with a sound.

What's New in Pal Itch
1.1.1
October 21, 2026
Pal Itch now speaks Spanish, Russian, Japanese and Portuguese (Brazil). The app, its notifications and the little LCD screen follow your iPhone's language — Japanese lines light up in a dot-matrix font made for kana and kanji. Text across the app is now set in SF Pro, the iPhone's system font, easy to read in every language; our signature typeface stays on HONG and the app's name. Plus small fixes.
