Sticky Love is a private space for two on your Home Screens. Leave your partner a love note, a drawing or a photo, and it shows up on their widget. Made for couples who live together, busy partners and long-distance relationships. No endless chat threads, no feeds, no pressure to reply. Just a little sign that you're thinking of each other. WRITE, DRAW OR SEND A PHOTO • Text: a short love note of up to 180 characters • Draw: doodle with your finger or Apple Pencil, with brush sizes, colors, an eraser and undo • Photo: share one picture. Sticky Love only gets the photo you choose Your newest note appears on your partner's Home Screen widget in small, medium or large size. SCHEDULE A SURPRISE Write a note now and choose when it arrives: a good-morning message, a few words for a big day or an anniversary surprise. Scheduled notes stay hidden from your partner until they're delivered, and you can edit, reschedule or cancel them anytime. EVERY NOTE, KEPT Your history keeps every note you've shared, sorted into notes from you and from your partner. WIDGETS FOR COUPLES • Days Together: a love counter for how long you've been together • Anniversary: a countdown to your anniversary or another yearly date • Distance: how many miles or kilometers apart you are, made for long-distance couples • Couple List: a shared list you can check off right from the widget • Photo: your favorite photo of you two on both Home Screens Dates, lists and photos are shared, so you both see the same widget.

Each space connects exactly two devices, and each invite works only once. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your space isn't public or searchable • Location is used only for the Distance widget, only after you turn on sharing, and only while the app is open. It's saved as an approximate location (about 100 m), stops showing after 24 hours and is deleted when you stop sharing. There's no background tracking. The distance appears once you both share. • Unlink or delete your space at any time, and the widgets are cleared too FREE TO START, PREMIUM FOR EVERY DAY Receiving and viewing notes is free while you're paired, and each partner can send one note for free.
