Ignite is a gentle, private way for couples to stay in tune with each other. Knowing when your partner is open to closeness isn't always easy to ask out loud. Ignite makes it effortless. With one tap you share where you're at: "Open" when you welcome spontaneity, or "Not now" when you'd rather not. A simple, respectful signal that only your partner sees. No pressure, no awkward conversations, just a quiet way to stay connected. HOW IT WORKS โ€ข Set your mood. "Open" when you're available to welcome your partner, "Not now" when you're not. โ€ข Choose time blocks or a timer to show when you'll be open: this morning, tonight, or for the next hour. โ€ข See your partner's mood at a glance once you're connected, updated in real time. MADE FOR TWO โ€ข Connect with your partner using a simple code. โ€ข One subscription covers you both. A single partner subscribing unlocks it for the couple. โ€ข Make it yours with custom icons and themes. PRIVATE BY DESIGN โ€ข Your status is shared only with your linked partner, never publicly. โ€ข Pause anytime to step away discreetly. โ€ข Your status is treated as sensitive personal data and processed only with your explicit consent. Try Ignite for free. Start on your own, or begin a 48-hour couple trial when you connect. Premium unlocks the full experience for both of you. Ignite & welcome spontaneity.

Which cream was it? The one that finally worked, two winters ago, in a white bottle. Vanity remembers it for you: every product you try, with a photo, a verdict and your own words about it. SNAP THE JAR Take a photo and Vanity cuts the product out of the background and reads the brand, name and size from the label. It all happens on your phone; nothing is uploaded. Check the fields, fix anything, and the product lands on its shelf. A VANITY THAT LOOKS LIKE ONE Skincare, Makeup and Perfume, each with its own hand-painted room. Inside: Face, Lips, Eyes, Hair, Body, Nails and more, and inside those, types like serum, SPF, mascara or lipstick. Add your own types when the list isn't enough. STAMPS, NOT STARS Holy grail. Repurchase. Meh. Never again. Four verdicts in the words you already use, pressed onto the product like a rubber stamp. A year later, "never again" tells you more than three stars ever did. USE IT BEFORE IT TURNS The Expiry tab lines up what runs out first, counted from the day you opened the jar and the months printed on it. FIND IT IN THE AISLE Search by brand, type or any word from your notes. Filter by stamp to see your holy grails at a glance. SHARE AND KEEP Send a friend a pretty PDF of your vanity with photos, stamps and notes. Keep a full backup in a ZIP file and restore it on a new phone. YOURS, ON YOUR PHONE No account and no server of ours. Photos and notes stay on your iPhone and, with Pro, sync through your own iCloud. In English, Spanish, French, Italian, Chinese, Hindi, Ukrainian and Russian. FREE FOR 35 PRODUCTS The first 35 products are free, with every stamp, note, search and expiry date. Pro removes the limit and adds iCloud sync, backup and PDF export. If you cancel, everything you added stays. SUBSCRIPTION AND TERMS Vanity Pro is an auto-renewable subscription: Month ($4.99 per month, with a 7-day free trial for new subscribers) or Year ($47.99 per year, charged on purchase). Prices are in US dollars and vary by country. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your App Store account settings. Any unused part of a free trial ends when you buy a subscription. Privacy Policy: https://dmapps.app/vanity/privacy Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
