DAKE

Read full description

See how they're doing, at a glance. Chats, photos and plans stay on your two phones only. Need some me-time? Turn on Vanish mode. DAKE ("just" in Japanese — just you two) is a couple app made for the one person who matters. No sign-up, no email address. Just connect your two iPhones with a QR code and start. ■ 3 THINGS THAT MAKE DAKE DIFFERENT 1. Nothing stays on a server Your chats, photos, plans and places are stored only on your two devices. Delivery goes through Apple's iCloud (CloudKit), but only data encrypted on your device is placed there, so no one but you two can read it — not even the makers of DAKE. Photos are removed from iCloud once they arrive. DAKE has no server at all. 2. Their "right now", at a glance Open the app and your partner's status is right at the top: what they're doing, how they feel, where they are, what they're listening to. You get a sense of each other without having to ask. 3. Vanish mode Some days you just need time alone. Turn on Vanish mode and your partner simply sees "Vanished" while status and location sharing take a break. Step away gently, without any awkwardness. ■ FEATURES • Home: your photo together, days since you started dating, partner's status, place, song and latest message • Chat: messages, photos, stickers and a "sorry" white flag • Map: secretly suggest places, likes, want to go / planned / been there, place search, location sharing • Calendar: shared plans and mood & health marks • Album: shared album, monthly highlights, "one year ago today", collages • Status & Vanish: what you're doing, social battery, wallet, Vanish mode • Now playing: share the song you're listening to with its cover, or send a song link from the share sheet • Anniversaries: dating anniversary, birthdays and more, with automatic countdowns • Questions for two: answer a daily question together • Split the bill: record who paid for dates and see who is ahead • Widgets: your days together, your partner's now, next plans and memories on the Home Screen and Lock Screen • Restore: switch phones and get your data back from your partner's device Languages: 日本語, English, 한국어, 繁體中文, ไทย, Español, Filipino, Bahasa Indonesia ■ PRICING All features are free for 30 days after you pair (no card needed). To keep going, choose Monthly, Yearly or Lifetime. Prices are shown in the App Store for your region. If one of you buys, both of you can use it. After the free period, you can still view your data and receive from your partner. Monthly and Yearly are auto-renewing subscriptions. They renew automatically at the same length and price unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and are charged to your Apple ID. Manage or cancel in Settings > your name > Subscriptions. Lifetime does not renew. ■ PRIVACY • Your data is stored only on your two devices • Only encrypted data passes through iCloud (CloudKit) for delivery (photos are removed once delivered) • No server; we collect no data • No ads • Location and photos are sent to your partner only when you choose to share them Terms of Use: https://note.com/alone555/n/n9d883f0db03e Privacy Policy: https://note.com/alone555/n/n9d883f0db03e DAKE requires two iPhones (one for each of you) signed in to iCloud.

About

小日子 Our Days

Features
Read full description

Our Days is an app made for two. The days you've been together, the dates that matter, notes to each other, and little games to play — all in one place. No accounts to sign up for: one of you creates a pairing code, the other enters it or scans the QR code, and your phones are connected. Works on iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. [DAYS TOGETHER] Set the day you got together and the home screen keeps counting. Birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, Valentine's Day — see what's coming at a glance. Long-distance? Set the date of your next meet-up too. [BOARD] Share one chalkboard: write by hand, type, and erase when you make a mistake. The board shows up right on your partner's Home Screen widget and Apple Watch. With Pro you can add up to three photos, move, resize, and rotate anything on the board, and use colored chalk and a second handwriting font. [HEARTS AND HUGS] Missing them? Tap the heart and your partner gets it right away. Both hold the heart at the same time, and that's a hug. [THIS OR THAT — GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER] A few questions a day like "Early bird or night owl?" Answers are revealed only when you've both picked, so you can see how in sync you are. React with emoji and quick replies, or type up to 3 messages per question; with Pro, send voice notes and photos and chat without limits. [PLAY TOGETHER] Telepathy, Tic-Tac-Toe, Draw & Guess, Big Two, Slapjack, Old Maid, Ludo, Yacht Dice, and more. Get "All Games for 7 Days," Pro, or "All Games Forever" to play everything — only one of you needs to buy, and both phones unlock together. Locked games can be tried free once a week. Shake your phone to roll the dice in Ludo and Yacht Dice. When you're in the same room, connect directly over Bluetooth or Wi‑Fi. Games are just for fun: the loser can agree to do a little something, like drying the other's hair. [LIVING TOGETHER OR LONG-DISTANCE] Living-together mode adds a shared shopping list; long-distance mode shows both of your local times and a countdown to your next meet-up. [LEVEL UP] The more This or That questions you answer together, the higher your level — from "Just Connected" all the way to "Legendary Couple," 11 levels in all. When you level up, you each hold to stamp it and get a postcard for "Our Journey," and you can turn it into a Story styled as a boarding pass, movie ticket, train ticket, or receipt. There are 5,000 questions, and old ones come back as look-back questions once you've answered them all. Levels have nothing to do with purchases. No ads, no tracking. Your data syncs only between the two of you. [PLANS] • All Games for 7 Days: 7 days at a time, does not auto-renew, can be stacked • Pro Monthly, Pro Yearly: all games + voice, photos, and unlimited chat in This or That + photos and move/resize/rotate on the board + colored chalk + the extra handwriting font. Auto-renews; cancel anytime in Settings • All Games Forever: one-time purchase that unlocks every game forever (Pro features not included) All plans are shared by the paired couple.
