Read full description

Pinky is the couples app that lives on your Home Screen. Draw something, snap a photo or write a quick note, and it appears on your partner's widget within seconds, wherever they are in the world. DRAW ON THEIR HOME SCREEN Doodle a heart, a silly face or a little "I miss you" with pen, marker, crayon and watercolor brushes. The moment you tap Send, your drawing shows up on their Home Screen widget, with a notification so they never miss it. THE LOVEBOX Everything you send lives in one cozy chat made for two: • Love notes and drawings • Photos that pop up on their widget • Surprise love coupons — they only find out what's inside when they redeem them • Sealed letters that can't be opened before the date you choose • Date ideas for at home, out and about, or long distance • Your song of the day • A heartbeat they can feel through their phone Reply with a swipe, react with a tap and keep every memory in one place. THUMB KISS Put your thumbs on the screen at the same time. When your fingers find each other, both phones beat like a heart. Partner not around? Leave a kiss mark for them to find later. A MASCOT YOU RAISE TOGETHER Your little pink mascot grows when you both show up each day — 40 levels, from a tiny sprout all the way to forever. It cheers for what you send, waits for you and gets sleepy when you're away. WIDGETS FOR TWO • From Your Partner — their latest drawing, photo or note • Thinking of You — send love straight from your Home Screen • Days Together — count every day since you met • Countdown — your next date, trip or anniversary • Time & Distance — their local time and how far apart you are • Mascot and Us Home Screen and Lock Screen sizes, in the colors and lettering you pick. DAILY QUESTIONS Fun, flirty, deep and future-focused questions. Your answers stay sealed until you've both replied. FOR LONG DISTANCE AND EVERY DAY Pinky works across time zones, and every notification arrives in your partner's own language. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No sign-up and no passwords. Connect with a private 6-digit code — only the two of you see what you share. Your account is remembered through iCloud Keychain, so a new iPhone picks up right where you left off.
