PrivateLingo is a messenger for two people. Not a feed, not a crowd. One person, and everything you do together stays between you. CHAT, WITH YOUR OWN WORDS Message, send photos, videos, voice notes and files, react, reply, forward and star. Then do something no other app lets you do: build a language only the two of you speak. Words you invent together are remembered, swapped into your chats, and grow into a private dictionary with its own name and levels. CALLS THAT REALLY RING Voice and video calls that ring from the lock screen, even when the app is closed. Missed a call? Leave a voice message right there, no fumbling into the chat. OUR SPACE A wall that belongs to the two of you. Put up photos and moments, write what you each remember about them, and watch it play back as a short film. Seal something to be opened later. Nobody else will ever see it. GAMES YOU PLAY IN TURNS Lingo, a word game on a board, played at your own pace with a friend or with anyone who is open to play. Your secret words score triple. Keep records, build a rivalry, earn badges. Plus a table of quick duels for when you have a minute. FIND EACH OTHER YOUR WAY Sign in with Apple, Google or email. Find people by username, by the contacts already in your phone, or with a link. Nobody can message you until you accept, and there is nothing to browse. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No public profiles. No discovery feed. Your nicknames for people are yours alone. Your number is never shown, never texted, and only lets friends who already have it find you. You decide who can find you by email. Block or report anyone, any time. PrivateLingo is for the person you talk to most. Bring them.
