About

Twoly

Features
Read full description

Twoly is a shared virtual pet for couples who are apart, even just for a little while. Both of you co-own one creature. Feed it, water it, and pet it every day, together. Daily caps mean neither of you can do it alone, so caring for your pet becomes something you both show up for. Leave each other a little something every day. Add one photo or one voice note to a shared journal, and see what your partner left too. Set the day you go apart and the day you're back together. Your pet grows toward that day, one small milestone at a time, so the distance feels like it is leading somewhere. Play a couple of light games with your pet in between check-ins, just for fun. No ads. No email, no password. A private recovery phrase secures your account instead, and pairing with your partner is a single 6-digit code. Features - One shared pet, co-owned by both of you - Daily care actions with shared caps, so it takes both of you - A daily journal: one photo or voice note each - Reunion countdown tied to your pet's growth - A couple of light mini-games - Private, password-free accounts - Delete your account and your data at any time Twoly is free to use. There is nothing to buy.
