Lovly
Draw here. It lands on their Lock Screen.
A couples app that lives on the Lock Screen: one shared canvas both partners draw on, plus moods, mini love notes, a days-together counter and shared memories — no feed, no streaks, no ads.

The problem
Couple apps tend to become one more feed — streaks to protect, guilt notifications at night, upsells that hold your history hostage. Lovly set out to be the opposite: small daily signals that say "I'm thinking of you", one glance away on the Lock Screen.

What we built
- One shared canvas both partners draw on, synced to Home and Lock Screen widgets so a drawing shows up on the other phone without opening the app.
- Every stroke saved as you go — close the app mid-drawing and nothing is lost.
- One-tap moods with a moment when both moods match, plus "thinking of you" pings.
- Mini love notes, a days-together counter, date countdowns, shared memories and a bucket list.
- No ads, no streaks, no reset — missing a week breaks nothing.
- Lovly+ subscription via RevenueCat for unlimited canvas history, secret canvas zones, a shared calendar and themes.
