Pulse is a private app built for two people. No followers, no feed, no strangers — just you and your partner in a space that's entirely yours. Send a pulse One tap sends a vibration straight to your partner's phone. They feel it wherever they are. It's the fastest way to say "I'm thinking of you" without saying anything at all. Voice messages & photo messages Record a voice note and send it — it pops up on their screen when they open the app. Send photos as a scratch card: they physically reveal it with their finger. React with an emoji, or save the ones worth keeping forever. Play together, wherever you are Draw and guess, race the clock, bluff your way through an alibi, or throw darts across the room — a dozen-plus real-time games built for two, including emoji pictionary. Hunt for photos on a scavenger hunt, write a story one line at a time. Plus 20+ quiz packs and a Date Builder for planning your next night out. Know how they're feeling Share a mood emoji so your partner knows where you're at right now. Check in each morning and night, and set countdowns to what you're both looking forward to. Answer a daily question together and see each other's responses side by side. Pulse on your Home Screen Add Pulse widgets to your Home Screen and Lock Screen. Tap the heart to send a pulse without opening the app, see your partner's mood the moment they share it and send love back, and keep your days together, the daily question, your next countdown and the distance between you in view.
