Our Orbit turns two places—yours and theirs—into a globe wallpaper that keeps distance, time difference, your day count, and the real-sun day/night line close at hand. Free includes the Minimal style and the core wallpaper experience. Pro is a one-time unlock, never a subscription, with four more styles, an unlimited Gallery, higher-resolution exports, and no watermark. On Apple devices, iCloud can sync your saved orbits—the city pair and wallpaper setup—between your own iPhone, iPad and Mac. No separate Our Orbit account is needed. Without iCloud, Our Orbit still works locally. Our Orbit is for long-distance partners, families abroad, and friends in other time zones. No tracking.

Miles apart? Same Moon brings your partner to your Home Screen. “No matter how far apart we are, we look at the same moon.” • Partner's photo — appears on your widget the moment they send it. • Their local time — “Their time: 03:14” — who's asleep, who's awake, at a glance. • Messaging — love notes and photos, chat-style. • Mood — share a status like “saying goodnight”; tap to change yours. • The distance between you — shown gently (only the distance, never raw location). • Days together & anniversary. • Countdown to your next meeting — live in the Dynamic Island, counting down day by day. • Tonight's moon phase — the one you both see. • A “thinking of you” tap — let them know they're on your mind. • Notifications — when your partner sends a message, photo, or nudge, you'll know instantly, even with the app closed. Just the two of you. No feed, no followers — your data stays in a secure cloud, private to the two of you. Built for long-distance love. Different skies, same moon.
