Little Notes: For Two
Send little love notes that land right on your partner's lock screen.
Private by design. End-to-end encrypted, with no sign-up, no account, no servers of ours, no ads, no tracking and no analytics. Lock screen previews are off by default: a note arrives as "New note from <name>" until you choose to show the note.
What it does
- Write or draw a note in your own hand.
- Add stickers, emoji or a photo.
- Send it to your one partner. It shows on their home screen and lock screen widgets.
- A gentle heartbeat haptic when a note arrives.
- Notes are kept in a pinboard, by week.
- Long-press a note you sent to unsend it from both phones.

One-time $4.99, no subscription. It adds the Scrapbook and Soft note styles, every theme (Candlelight is free), sticker packs, inks and pens. Buying once unlocks Pro for both of you. Restore purchase is on the Pro screen.
Free forever: notes, drawings, photos and widgets.
Pairing, widgets and help
What do we both need to pair?
The app on an iPhone or iPad with iOS 18 or later, and each of you signed in to iCloud. Tap Invite your partner and send the invite by AirDrop (hold the phones close), Messages or Mail. Your partner opens it on their device with Little Notes installed, and you are paired.
Can someone else use a forwarded invite?
No. The invite only works for the person you sent it to, so a forwarded link does not let anyone else in.
My partner's invite will not open. What now?
If their Apple Account email or phone number differs from the one you sent to, ask for a new invite sent to the address on their Apple Account.
Can I pair with more than one person?
No. Little Notes is for two people, one partner at a time.
The app says it could not set up sharing.
Check that you are signed in to iCloud (Settings > your name > iCloud) and have a connection, then tap Try again. If your iCloud storage is full, that also blocks invites.
How do I add the widgets?
Home screen: touch and hold the home screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget and choose Little Notes (small, medium or large). Lock screen: touch and hold the lock screen, tap Customize, choose Lock Screen, tap the widget area and choose Little Notes. Control Center also has a Write a note control.
Can I take back a note I sent?
Yes. Long-press a note you sent to unsend it from both phones.
How do I restore Pro?
Open the Pro screen in the app and tap Restore purchase. Use the same Apple Account you bought with.
How do I unpair?
Open Settings > Unpair. Each person decides what happens to their own copy, and you can delete what you sent from both phones. No app can stop screenshots.
