Why are our messages with friends constrained to generic green and blue chat bubbles? It’s time to add some color (and chaos) to your conversations with Sugar. On Sugar, chat outside the box by dropping text, images, GIFs, videos, and drawings anywhere on the unlimited canvas. Pick a text style as unique as your own voice (or keep it old school with a green or blue bubble). On Sugar, conversation is art.
What A Team

What A Team is the simplest way for small teams and families to celebrate each other and live their shared values together. Whether you're a startup, a remote crew, a sports team, a family, or a group of friends working on something meaningful, What A Team helps you build a culture of recognition and shared values! HOW IT WORKS Create a team or family: pick a name, an emoji, and invite people with a simple code. Choose your values: pick 3-5 core values that define your group — from Integrity and Collaboration to Love and Gratitude. Send High Fives: when someone lives your values, send them a High Five with a short message. They'll get a moment of recognition — complete with a celebration. See your group's Pulse: check which values your group celebrates most, who's spreading positivity, and how things are going over time. WHY "WHAT A TEAM" • Free, forever — no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, no ads. • Built for small groups — perfect for teams and families of 2 to 20 people. • Privacy-first — we collect only what we need to make the app work. No tracking, no data selling. • Mobile-first — designed for the way real teams work, not chained to a desk. • Warm, not competitive — we celebrate everyone's contributions, not rank them. The Pulse shows the whole group, not a leaderboard. • Forming, storming, performing — built around the idea that great teams co-create their values together. The act of defining them is itself a team-building moment. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Create or join a team or family with a 6-character invite code • Switch between multiple teams and families • Define 3 to 5 core values from a curated list, with emojis and colors • Give and receive High Fives tied to specific values • Get push notifications when someone sends you a High Five • React to High Fives with a like • See a real-time activity feed of all the recognition happening in your group • View your personal profile with all the High Fives you've received and given • Check the Pulse for celebrated values, recognition champions, and group trends • Edit your group, values, and members (group creator) WHO IT'S FOR What A Team is built for any group of people who want to grow stronger together: small startups, remote teams, classroom groups, sports teams, families, project squads, and anyone who believes that small moments of recognition build the strongest bonds. It's especially useful for teams going through the forming, storming, performing journey — co-creating values is one of the most powerful ways to bond a group, and "What A Team" makes it joyful. No tracking. No ads. No subscriptions. Just a simple, warm way to celebrate your people.
