Puffy is the softest way to stay close to your favorite people β a one-tap "thinking of you" app for your closest friends, your family, and your partner. No long messages, no pressure to reply, no feed to scroll. Just a warm little signal between people who care about each other. β SEND A PUFF IN ONE TAP β Tap once to let someone know they're on your mind. They get a soft, gentle notification β never noisy, never spammy β and they can Puff back instantly. Want to say a little more? Add a feeling like a hug, "miss you," "good luck," or "coffee?" to your Puff. β FIND YOUR PEOPLE β Sync contacts to see who's already on Puffy, search by username, or send an invite link that lasts 7 days. Every connection is mutual β nobody can add or see you without your okay. Not comfortable with someone? Block or report them in a tap. β YOUR CLOSE CIRCLE β Keep the people closest to you in one calm place. See who's connected, send a Puff, Puff back, and pick up right where you left off β no chat history, no unread badges piling up. β PRIVACY-FIRST LOCATION SHARING β Share your location only when you choose to. Pick from once, for an hour, for the day, or always β and stop anytime with one tap. Sharing is foreground and consent-based: Puffy never tracks you in the background and never shares your location secretly. You can also gently ask someone to share their location, and they decide whether to say yes. β QUICK-PUFF NOTIFICATIONS β Pin a quick-puff notification for your favorite person so you can send a Puff without even opening the app β perfect for a fast "thinking of you" between meetings or on your commute. β CUSTOMIZE & SIGN IN YOUR WAY β Pick the sound you hear when a Puff arrives β default, gentle chime, bright chime, or silent β and toggle Puff, location, or Premium notifications individually in Settings. Get started as a guest in seconds, or create a full account with phone number, email, Google, Apple, or Facebook. β WHY PUFFY β β’ Soft, warm, and beautifully simple β nothing to configure, nothing to figure out β’ Privacy-first by design β every connection and every location share needs your consent β’ Not a dating app, not a chat app, not a location tracker β’ Gentle notifications that feel warm, never noisy β’ Built for friends, family, and couples alike β near or far β FREE β β’ One favorite person β’ Unlimited Puffs and Puff backs β’ Basic feelings β’ Manual location sharing and location requests β’ Contact sync, username search, and invite links β’ Block and report for your safety β’ Core privacy controls and custom notification sounds β PREMIUM β β’ Recent 24-hour location history, only with the other person's clear consent β’ More favorite people β grow your close circle beyond one β’ Custom Puff styles and premium feelings β’ Personal notes added to your Puffs β’ Ad-free experience β’ Advanced privacy controls Premium starts with a 3-day free trial, then continues at the plan price for your chosen monthly or yearly subscription. Cancel anytime in your device's subscription settings. Premium never bypasses anyone's consent β you can only see a location history if that person has clearly allowed it, and they can revoke or delete access at any time. Puffy isn't about tracking people or filling a feed. It's the small, quiet gesture that says someone crossed your mind β while keeping both people in control. Stay softly connected.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Closer at none against Couples Widget's 2. Closer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
