Twoodle turns your Home Screen into a little window to your favorite person. Draw a heart on a photo. Scribble "miss you" on a blank canvas. Hit send — and watch it fade onto your partner's Home Screen widget, exactly when they need to see it. No filters. No feeds. No likes to count. Just the two of you. HOW IT WORKS - Pick a photo or start with a blank canvas - Doodle on it — hearts, notes, whatever's on your mind - Send it — it appears on your partner's Home Screen widget with a soft fade-in - They doodle back whenever they want DRAW TOGETHER, LIVE Open a shared canvas styled like your Lock Screen and draw on it at the same time — every stroke shows up on your partner's phone as you draw it. Save the finished piece to your gallery or send it straight to their widget.
