Puffy is the softest way to stay close to your favorite people — 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. — SEND A PUFF IN ONE TAP — Tap once to let someone know they're on your mind. They get a soft, gentle notification — never noisy, never spammy — 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. — FIND YOUR PEOPLE — 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 — nobody can add or see you without your okay. Not comfortable with someone? Block or report them in a tap. — YOUR CLOSE CIRCLE — 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 — no chat history, no unread badges piling up. — PRIVACY-FIRST LOCATION SHARING — Share your location only when you choose to. Pick from once, for an hour, for the day, or always — 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. — QUICK-PUFF NOTIFICATIONS — Pin a quick-puff notification for your favorite person so you can send a Puff without even opening the app — perfect for a fast "thinking of you" between meetings or on your commute. — CUSTOMIZE & SIGN IN YOUR WAY — Pick the sound you hear when a Puff arrives — default, gentle chime, bright chime, or silent — 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. — WHY PUFFY — • Soft, warm, and beautifully simple — nothing to configure, nothing to figure out • Privacy-first by design — every connection and every location share needs your consent • Not a dating app, not a chat app, not a location tracker • Gentle notifications that feel warm, never noisy • Built for friends, family, and couples alike — near or far — FREE — • One favorite person • Unlimited Puffs and Puff backs • Basic feelings • Manual location sharing and location requests • Contact sync, username search, and invite links • Block and report for your safety • Core privacy controls and custom notification sounds — PREMIUM — • Recent 24-hour location history, only with the other person's clear consent • More favorite people — grow your close circle beyond one • Custom Puff styles and premium feelings • Personal notes added to your Puffs • Ad-free experience • 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 — 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 — while keeping both people in control. Stay softly connected.
