It arrives without you opening anything. A word from your friend sits on your Lock Screen. No notification to open, no app to launch. Pick up your phone and it's already there. ■ Type it, tap it, done Write what you want to say and tap once. It lands on their Lock Screen right away. No read receipts to watch — they'll see it the moment they pick up their phone. ■ Your photo becomes a sticker Take a photo and the background disappears. A hand, a face, whatever you like. Pick a Live Photo and the sticker moves. If the cut isn't clean, trim it yourself with the eraser. ■ It lands in two places The sticker shows on the Lock Screen card and in the Dynamic Island. It stays on their phone all day. No words ever appear in the Island. It's always on, even on the Home Screen — nobody standing next to them should be able to read it. ■ Just the two of you One QR scan and you're linked. No phone number, no contacts. One person at a time. A place that doesn't scatter across a crowd. ■ In your color Pick one of eight colors and the Lock Screen widget and card follow. ■ When you're on your own Four little ones — Cream, Mori, Dubu and Sori. Pick one and they'll say hello a few times a day. When a friend arrives they step aside, and you can always visit them again. ■ It stays quiet This app sends nothing else. No sound, no screen waking up.
