Bubudu
Read full descriptionHide full description
Bubudu is a shared space for you and your partner: little games, thoughtful notes and memories to revisit. Whether you're on the same sofa or far apart, make a little time for two. The app and its content are currently in English. START A CONVERSATION Answer a question or try a game of This or That. Make five quick choices, then compare after you both play. Explore small ways to learn more about each other. SEND SOMETHING PERSONAL Draw a doodle for your partner's widget, send a nudge or write a love note. Some notes can be sealed for a later moment. Widgets need to be added on a supported iPhone. Lock Screen widgets require iOS 16 or later, and updates depend on the app and iOS. CARE FOR YOUR SHARED PLANT Water your plant and help it grow with qualifying activities in Bubudu. Growth rewards have daily limits; not every action adds growth. KEEP YOUR MOMENTS Save photos and revisit shared memories. Our Moment brings one photo from each of you into a side-by-side keepsake once both have contributed. Ordinary album photos are shared directly rather than sealed until both contribute. START WITH AN INVITE One person creates a space and shares an invite code. The other joins. Bubudu is designed for two, with no public feed or followers. Start your shared space and invite your partner.
Nudge

Nudge puts the two of you on each other's home screens. Add the Nudge widget and it stays with your partner all day. From your phone, you can change what it shows on theirs. They don't need to open anything, reply to a chat or check a feed. They just see it. SEND A NUDGE Push a photo, a short note or your current mood to your partner's widget in a few taps. It updates on their home screen, and they can send one right back. COUNT YOUR DAYS See how many days you've been together, always on your home screen. LOOK FORWARD TOGETHER Keep a shared list of upcoming plans: dinners, trips, the next time you see each other. The widget counts down to whatever's next and moves on to the following plan when the day comes. MADE FOR TWO Nudge is symmetric. You both install it, pair once, and push to each other. There are no followers, no public profiles and no one else in the loop. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos and notes sync through iCloud between your two devices. There are no ads and no social feed. Small, simple and a little bit magic: reach across and change something on their screen.
