Noteit is the simplest way to share a quick doodle with the one person who matters. Pick a friend, sketch something silly, hit send. Their home screen widget shows your drawing the second you tap Send. Open noteit at the same moment? Watch each other draw stroke-by-stroke, live. That's it. That's the whole app. WHY NOTEIT ⢠One friend at a time. No groups, no feed, no followers. ⢠Drawings live for 24 hours, then disappear forever. ⢠A widget on their home screen ā they don't even have to open noteit to see it. ⢠Live mode when you're both online. Stroke-by-stroke, no delay. ⢠Beautifully simple, deliberately small. HOW IT WORKS 1. Sign in with Apple. Pick a username. 2. Add one friend by their @noteit username. 3. Tap their card, draw, send. 4. They see it on their home screen. Magic. WHAT'S INSIDE ⢠8 colors and 3 brush sizes ⢠Apple Pencil pressure sensitivity (iPad supported) ⢠Undo, clear, redraw ā until you're happy ⢠Push notifications when a friend draws back ⢠Small + medium home screen widgets ⢠Light, fast, friendly to your battery WHO IT'S FOR Couples in a long-distance moment.

Postcards is the simplest way to stay close to the people you care about. Each day, a small idea for what to say to someone in particular. A few lines, a photo if you like, and send it on. How it works. - Add the people who matter. The handful you want to stay close to. The ones you've been meaning to text, want to get to know better, or simply share moments with. - Daily postcards to send. Ways to spark a conversation, each one picked just for you and your relationships. Add a few lines, a photo if you like, and send it on. - Shared moments to rediscover. Look back at the moments that build your shared story. What we believe. - A small circle, tended with attention, is a full life. - One real note outweighs a thousand likes. - Reaching out, deliberately, compounds. --- We're living through something we don't have a great name for yet. Loneliness isn't quite right. Most of us are surrounded by people. Disconnection is closer. We have more ways to reach out than ever, yet somehow our relationships become an afterthought. Social media promised connection. What it delivered was something else: attention. Platforms built not to bring us closer to the people we love, but to keep us scrolling. We used to send postcards. A postcard wasn't sent on a whim. You chose one person. You thought about what to say. You took time. Receiving one meant you were thought of. Just you. We want to bring it back. We hope you do too.
