Just Us
Read full descriptionHide full description
Just Us is a private little world for the two of you — not another chat app, but small, meaningful moments that keep you close, every single day. SHARE HOW YOU FEEL Pick today's mood and add a short note. Your partner sees it instantly on their home screen, and the app's colours gently change with your shared mood. A SILENT HEART When words feel like too much, tap the heart. Your partner gets a soft notification and a shower of hearts the next time they open the app. ONE QUESTION A DAY Every evening there's a new question just for couples — 200 of them. Answer on your own; both answers are revealed only when you've both replied. Look back at everything you've said in your question history. LITTLE PINGS "I miss you", "Thinking of you", "Are you free?", "Good night" — or your own short message. One tap, and they know. MEMORIES, TOGETHER Keep your photos and moments in one shared place. Memory photos are encrypted on your phone, so only the two of you can see them. Feeling nostalgic? Tap "Random memory". COUNT DOWN TO WHAT'S NEXT Anniversaries, trips, birthdays. Add your special days and watch them get closer — right from the home screen widget. LETTERS TO THE FUTURE Write a letter that stays sealed until the date you choose. A QUIET SHARED SPACE Meet as avatars in your own little scene. Wave, hug or send a kiss, even when you're miles apart. PLAY TOGETHER Draw & Guess, Word Chain and Rock Paper Scissors — made for two. AND MORE A shared board for notes, plans and to-dos, a couple calendar, a mood playlist and an SOS button for the moments you need each other most. JUST US PRO — ONE PURCHASE, FOR BOTH OF YOU Pro is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

Draw on your partner's lock screen, from the other side of the world. The Long Goodbye keeps your person on the screens you both see most. Your handwriting lands on their home-screen widget, and on their lock screen once they add a one-time Shortcut. Their clock sits on your lock screen, and a countdown ticks down to the day you're finally together again. It's not another chat app to keep up with. It's warm presence, in the spaces between hellos. WHAT'S INSIDE • Draw on their lock screen — a heart or a "good morning" in your own handwriting (Together+) • Your lock screen, their drawing — their handwriting over your photo and the days you've been together, ready to set as your wallpaper • Lock Screen widgets — their clock and time of day, their last tap and the countdown • Home Screen widget — your partner one glance away: their local time, their last tap, the days to go • "Thinking of you" taps — one tap lights up their widget, no words needed • Reunion countdown — count down to the next visit, down to the time the flight lands • Photo moments, notes and audio postcards — little postcards, with replies • Your people — keep a partner, a best friend and a parent close, each a private 1:1 connection (Together+) • Countdowns for visits, deployments and visa waits, with milestones and OPSEC mode • Good hours to call, and moment labels and shared albums COUNTDOWNS FOR EVERY KIND OF WAIT Count down to the next visit, a deployment homecoming or the end of a visa wait. Add the stops along the way (R&R, the interview), watch the bar pass halfway, and share a card with family. OPSEC mode keeps the date off your widget, your lock screen and anything you share. GOOD HOURS TO CALL See when you're both awake and both free, in your time with theirs beside it, for the whole week. One tap suggests a call with the time in both your clocks. MOMENTS, LABELLED AND IN ALBUMS Label photos, voice and notes ("first visit", "Lisbon") and gather them into albums you both keep. MADE FOR THE DISTANCE Built for couples apart for school, work, military deployment, a visa wait, or whole oceans and time zones. Students, immigrants, deployed partners — everyone counting down to the next hug. NOT A CHAT APP No pressure to reply, no endless notifications. Just a calm presence that says "still here, still yours." TOGETHER+ Free to start: pairing, their time, taps, widgets and one countdown. Together+ unlocks drawing on their lock screen, your photo and the together-for count, unlimited photo moments, audio postcards, premium themes, multiple & recurring countdowns and up to 10 connections — with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan. One purchase covers both of you. Plans and local pricing are shown in the app. The goodbyes are long. The countdown makes them shorter.
