Stay close to your person, right from your lock screen. VibeCircle puts your partner on your lock screen: their vibe, a quick note, the song they're playing, how far apart you are and how many days you've been together. Best friends welcome too. MADE FOR TWO • Your couple home: days together, your streak and your next milestone. • A daily question you both answer. You see their answer once you reply. • Send a buzz, a little heartbeat they feel on their phone. • Couple stats: streak, distance, questions answered and buzzes between you. LOCK SCREEN WIDGETS • Lock Screen widgets: days together, distance, countdown, question of the day, note, vibe, battery and your crew. • Apple Watch complications to see their vibe at a glance. • Light and dark mode. PRIVACY FIRST • Anonymous sign-in. No email, phone or social login required. • Only people you add with your code can see you. • Distance is shown as a band ("nearby", "same city"), never an exact address. • No ads, no data selling. VIBECIRCLE PRO (OPTIONAL) Couple widgets, extra reactions and more than 10 people. Pay once and Pro is shared with your partner. Monthly or yearly, with a free trial.
