When you're thousands of kilometres apart, the hardest part isn't the big moments — it's missing the tiny, everyday ones. Tuyo gives them back: a doodle that's waiting on their lock screen when they wake up, a heart when they're having a bad day, a streak you keep together.
Why long-distance couples love Tuyo
It works across time zones
Doodles are asynchronous. Send one at lunch in Madrid; it's on their lock screen when they wake up in New York. No "is it too late to call?" math.
It's the first thing they see
No app to open, no chat to scroll. Your drawing sits right under the clock on their lock screen — they'll see it every time they pick up their phone.
You can watch each other draw
On iPhone 14 Pro and newer, the Dynamic Island lights up the moment your partner starts drawing for you, and shows the drawing live.
A streak gives you a gentle daily ritual
Send one doodle a day and watch your streak grow. It's a small promise you keep to each other.
Every doodle is saved
Memories keeps a private timeline of everything you've drawn for each other — a love-letter archive for when you're finally in the same place.
Works for mixed-phone couples
Tuyo works iPhone ↔ iPhone, Android ↔ Android and iPhone ↔ Android. Everyone gets the same widgets, streaks and memories.
