Read full description

Ripple is a quiet widget app for staying close without chat or pressure to reply. Share a simple status or note and let it appear right on the Home Screen or Lock Screen. Your latest update is always easy to see β€” calm, lightweight, and already there when someone unlocks their phone. Use Ripple to: β€’ Share simple notes without starting a conversation β€’ Set your current status, like working, resting, out, or busy β€’ See updates through Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets β€’ Personalize widgets with custom backgrounds and photos Ripple uses iCloud for private sharing between Apple devices. Everyone needs an iPhone or iPad with iCloud enabled to create or follow shared spaces. Widget updates follow iOS system scheduling and may not appear instantly. Ripple is designed for low-pressure sharing, not real-time messaging. There are no read receipts, typing indicators, online status, or activity pressure. Stay close, without the noise.

Paspo Chat is a one-to-one messenger where you know who is on the other side. You sign in with Paspo ID, the verified digital identity, so every conversation starts with a real person. SIGN IN WITHOUT A PASSWORD Tap β€œSign in with Paspo ID”, confirm in the Paspo ID app and you are in. The sign-in screen shows exactly what will be shared and which confirmation steps will run, before anything happens. FIND PEOPLE AND START TALKING Tap + to see everyone who chose to be visible, or search by name. Pick someone and start writing β€” the chat appears in your list right away. MESSAGES THAT KEEP UP New messages arrive as notifications with the sender’s name and avatar, grouped by conversation. Open a chat and it stays up to date while you read. Notifications of a chat disappear once you have read it. YOU DECIDE WHO SEES YOU Choose your username and whether you are visible to everyone. Turn visibility off and people will no longer find you when they start a new chat. STAY SAFE Block anyone with one tap, and report a chat for spam, abuse or fraud. Reporting also blocks the chat, and you can unblock it at any time.
