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. 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. 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 and nudges are free. Always. Till Pro 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. No ads. No feed. No one else in here but the two of you.
