About

DINGING

Features
Read full description

DING is a low-pressure messenger for the people who matter most. No infinite scroll. No read-receipt anxiety. No social feed. Just small, gentle pings between you and your contacts — a "thinking of you," a quick check-in, a mood, a one-tap response. WHAT MAKES DING DIFFERENT • DINGs are tiny by design. Tap a contact, pick a feeling or a quick prompt, send. Done. • PINGs ask a question and wait for a one-tap reply — a yes / no / location / mood — without making the other person write a paragraph. • Status & mood are shared only with the contacts you choose. No public feed, no followers. • Friend codes instead of address-book scraping. You decide who finds you. • Notes, Tasks, and a personal Log live in your private space — synced across your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. PLAY TOGETHER A small built-in lounge of two-player games — Tic-Tac-Toe, with more on the way — so you can keep a slow back-and-forth game going with your favorite person. APPLE WATCH Glance at your status, send a one-tap DING, react to a PING, or update your mood right from your wrist. PRIVACY FIRST DING was designed around the idea that less is more. We don't run ads. We don't sell data. We don't track you across other apps. Voice replies stay on your device. Location is shared only when you tap "Share my location" on a PING — never in the background. Read our full privacy policy at https://itsjustlife.cloud/DING/privacy.html WHO IS DING FOR • Long-distance partners, parents, and grandparents • Friends who want a "hey, thinking of you" without the WhatsApp guilt-trip • Anyone tired of group-chat fatigue • People who like quiet apps DING is free, ad-free, and made by one person.
