TryMe is Truth or Dare for your group chat. Play every day with friends in other cities, or pass the phone around at a party tonight. TRUTH OR DARE, EVERY DAY Each round, one friend writes a truth and a dare for someone in the group. That person picks blind and only sees the task after choosing. • Truth: answer honestly in the chat. • Dare: do it and post a photo or video as proof, shot with the in-app camera. WEEKLY GROUP CHALLENGE One person sets a challenge for the whole group. Everyone has until the end of the week to post their proof. You'll see who went all in and who chickened out. PARTY MODE For when you're all in one room. Pick a deck and pass the phone. Swipe left to answer the truth on the card, or swipe right to risk the dare hidden behind it. Only one phone needs the app. OUT OF IDEAS? Idea packs give you truths and dares to start with. Packs include Casual, Deep, Wild and Spicy. BUILT FOR FRIEND GROUPS • Private groups, invite friends with a link • Join several groups: roommates, school friends, the long-distance crew • Every answer and every dare in one group timeline • Free to play. TryMe Plus adds extra decks, premium idea packs, themes and up to 15 groups. Terms of Service: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

A tiny ritual to stay connected with loved ones through patterns in time. Some minutes are too perfect to keep to yourself. 11:11. 12:34. 12:21. 22:22. A few times each day the clock lands on something beautiful — and for one minute, it belongs to you and the people you care about. Sync turns that tiny moment into a reason to reach out. Catch a magic minute, send it to someone you love, and you've said "thinking of you" in two taps — no feeds, no scrolling, no pressure. HOW IT WORKS - Catch the moment — when the clock hits a meaningful minute (a repeat like 11:11, a run like 12:34, a palindrome like 12:21, a mirror like 13:13), the SEND button lights up. - Send it to the people you love — pick your friends. They get a gentle ping and 30 minutes to catch it back. - Stay close — when someone catches it back you both score a little, but the real win is staying in touch with people you actually know. - Look back — your Discoveries log keeps every rare minute you've shared and who shared it back. WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT - A 60-second ritual, not another feed to scroll. - Stay close to the people you already text. Add friends from your contacts, or anyone by name and number with a full country-code picker — no contacts permission required. - Invite the rest. Not on Sync yet? Send a one-tap text invite. - A real reason to glance at the clock. Suddenly 11:11 means someone. Your contacts stay on your device — Sync never uploads anyone you don't add as a friend. Sync is free and made for the people you love. Catch the next magic minute and stay connected.
