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.

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+) 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.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Same Moon at none against Long Goodbye's 2. Long Goodbye's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
