Voice messages & photo messages Record a voice note and send it โ€” it pops up on their screen when they open the app. Send photos as a scratch card: they physically reveal it with their finger. React with an emoji, or save the ones worth keeping forever. Play together, wherever you are Draw and guess, race the clock, bluff your way through an alibi, or throw darts across the room โ€” a dozen-plus real-time games built for two, including emoji pictionary. Hunt for photos on a scavenger hunt, write a story one line at a time. Plus 20+ quiz packs and a Date Builder for planning your next night out. Know how they're feeling Share a mood emoji so your partner knows where you're at right now. Check in each morning and night, and set countdowns to what you're both looking forward to.

One moment a day, saved forever. Loveloop is the private app for the two of you: a daily question you both answer, a shared archive of everything worth keeping, and a library of games to play together, whether you're on the same couch or in different time zones. ONE QUESTION A DAY - Every day, Loveloop asks the two of you one question, in text, voice, or a quick scale. - Answers stay hidden until you've both replied, so nobody copies and nobody waits. - Close the loop together and your streak grows. Miss a day? Streak freezes have you covered. - Pick your topics and switch off anything you'd rather never be asked. KEEP EVERY MOMENT - Photos, videos, voice notes, and written moments, all in one shared timeline. - Pin memories to a map and watch your story spread across the places you've been. - Save from anywhere with the share sheet, then find it again with search, tags, and favorites. - Count the days since your anniversary and celebrate the milestones as they arrive. PLAY TOGETHER - 4,400+ questions across ten formats: This or That, Would You Rather, Never Have I Ever, Agree or Disagree, Who's More Likely, Truth or Dare, quizzes about each other, deep conversations, and Draw Together. - Both of you answer, then both of you see. Compare, laugh, and learn something new. - Track what you've played and what's still waiting for you. STAY CLOSE - Send a note or a lovebomb when they cross your mind. - Share your mood, stress, and closeness in a quick check-in and see how you're both doing over time. - Share your live location when you choose to, see the distance between you, and get directions to each other. - Home Screen widgets for today's question, your streak, and your days together. - Pick a look and an app icon that feel like the two of you.
