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.

Two people, one quiet place to wait together — even when you're apart. Pair with your person. From then on, the day you're both waiting for sits on both home screens, ticking down side by side. WHAT YOU DO HERE EVERY DAY Take a photo for each other. One tap, and your day lands on their screen — theirs on yours. Draw them something. A blank page and your finger. It shows up on their home screen. Answer the question of the day, then guess what they said. The answers open only when you've both played. Raise a little pet together. It hatches when you both keep the egg warm and grows with your check-ins and drawings. Send a nudge when you miss them. It arrives instantly. See the distance between you, and what time it is where they are. THE COUNTDOWN A trip, a reunion, an anniversary — one date, two phones, always in sync. Home-screen widgets: photo, flip clock and editorial — plus a lock-screen one. Dates that come back every year keep counting on their own. Plan the day together, and schedule a surprise they'll only see when it's time. THINGS TO DO TOGETHER A shared list of movies, shows, books, places and recipes. When you do one, mark it done together, with a photo. Movie night: you both press play on the same 3-2-1, react and ask for a pause while you watch. Reading together: one book, where each of you is, and notes on the pages. THE PAIR COMES FIRST You don't need a date to use Till. Pair with your person and the daily check-in and the drawings work on their own. Add a countdown when you have something to wait for — and delete it without losing each other. FREE, AND HONESTLY SO Pairing, the daily check-in, drawings, nudges, the question of the day and your pet are free. Always. Till Pro adds goals you check in on side by side, the themed question decks, five of the pet's seven games and its shop, the Together list, movie night and reading together, your weekly recap, and keeps what you've made: every photo in a month grid, your whole timeline, the drawing archive, unlimited countdowns, surprises and plans. One of you subscribes and you both get Pro. Your person gets it automatically. Till Pro is an auto-renewable subscription, monthly or yearly. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, and the subscription renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it anytime in your Apple Account settings. No ads. No feed. No one else in here but the two of you.
