A brand-new app from the team behind "Suki" — the couple app that ranked No.1 in Asia downloads※ and has been used by over 30 million users worldwide! "Pukutan," a couple app where two people can record and grow together, is now officially launched. Pukutan is a couple app that lets you record your everyday life with your partner while raising a Pukutan that belongs only to the two of you. Log today's mood, answer daily questions, save photos and anniversaries. At the same time, you and your partner can take care of the same Pukutan together — dress it up, decorate its room, and watch it grow step by step. As your daily moments together are gradually recorded, your memories with Pukutan will keep growing too. Record how you both feel every day Each day, pick your moods separately, and your emotions will be saved on the calendar. Take a look back together after a month, and you might discover something unexpected — like "Looks like I was grumpier than you this month?" Raise a Pukutan that belongs only to the two of you You and your partner can raise the same Pukutan together. Dress it in cute outfits, decorate your little shared room, study with it, and watch it slowly grow. As you take care of it together, Pukutan will keep changing — becoming a little joy you look forward to every time you open the app. One question a day to get to know each other better Every day, you'll receive a question meant just for the two of you. Neither of you can see the other's answer until both have replied. From small everyday things to questions you're usually too shy to ask — through these daily questions, you may discover sides of your partner you never knew before. Keep memories that belong only to the two of you Photos you took together, those casual little moments from your dates — all can be kept in Pukutan. Photos you don't want to share on social media can be shared only between you and your partner. Not for showing others, but for keeping the memories that belong only to the two of you. Remember important days together Anniversary, birthday, the day of your first date… Record the special dates that matter to you, and count down to the next one together. Record your daily life, understand each other better, and raise Pukutan together. Your shared records and the memories created with Pukutan — all kept in one place.

Sylph is a private space for you and one special person to exchange handwritten letters. Every line replays exactly as it was drawn. The places you hesitated, the parts you drew with extra care — they reach the other person just as they happened. "Love you." "Welcome home." "Good job today." "Thank you." Some feelings are hard to say out loud. Drawn by hand, they come out naturally. Why not share them with someone special, in a space that belongs to just the two of you? More than a finished drawing A handwritten letter carries feelings the finished picture alone can't show. Letters you receive can be replayed: the order each line was drawn, the slow parts, the places traced again and again. The whole story of the drawing unfolds in your hands. If a letter was drawn with Sound Doodle on, the picture plays back as a little melody of its own. You can also export a favorite replay as a video to keep. Reply right on the letter Answer a letter by drawing back. With "Draw on top," you add your lines over the picture you received — and two people's lines become one drawing. No time to draw? Send a one-tap emoji reaction to say "I saw it" or "I love it." A quiet space for two Sylph is a communication app for two people. A partner, a best friend, family living far away. It's not a place to post for an audience — it's a place to reach one person. No public timeline. No like counts, no followers. Enjoy handwritten exchanges at your own pace. Main features - Draw and send handwritten notes and pictures (pen, fountain pen, brush, chalk — 12 colors and more) - Replay received letters stroke by stroke - Reply by hand, or draw over the original with "Draw on top" - One-tap emoji reactions - Draw over a photo as the background - Sound Doodle: drawings that play as little melodies (switch on/off anytime) - Save and share replays as videos - Home Screen widget showing your latest letter Perfect for - Couples who want to share everyday affection in a new way - Long-distance relationships - Best friends who love trading doodles - Staying close to family far away, beyond words - Anyone who loves handwriting and little drawings - Feelings that are hard to put into words - Keeping small memories with someone special You don't have to draw well You don't need to draw well. You don't need to find the perfect words. Even a single heart carries your feelings. Sylph turns everyday exchanges into something a little more special.

Drawing Widget's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
