## What is PIPU?

A tiny ping can say enough.

PIPU lets you send preset emoji messages to people you trust—without opening a chat or sharing your contacts. Connect with a PIPU Link, choose a signal, hold to PI, and let your pal reply with one tap from a Live Activity.

QUICK PI, QUICK PU
• Send preset emoji phrases from Home
• Receive replies on the Lock Screen and Dynamic Island
• See recent signals for each connected pal
• Clear Live Activities whenever you want

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, phone number, email, contacts, or location required
• Scan a QR code or enter a permanent 12-character PIPU code to send a pal request; connect after the other person accepts
• No free-text chat and no advertising tracking

FREE AND OPTIONAL UPGRADES
The free version includes one pal, 10 PI per day (resetting at your local midnight), and six starter PIPUs. PIPU+ Monthly and PIPU Lifetime unlock up to six pals and all PIPUs. Optional theme packs unlock additional themed signals.

Delivery depends on internet access, notification permissions, Live Activities, Focus settings, iOS scheduling, and Apple Push Notification service. PIPU is not intended for emergencies or time-critical communication.
