Everything lives on your home screen.

You don't have to remember to open Pear. Your Pear's day shows up where you already look, on the home screen and the lock screen.

Pips

Your Pet and the Together Streak

Every day you both send a Pip is a Together Day. Together Days grow your shared Pet, and the Together Streak counts them in a row. The Pet blushes when a Pip arrives, gets hungry in the evening if you haven't sent one, and sleeps at night.

Bucket List widget: Watch the sunrise from Doi Inthanon, 5 to do, 3 done, with a Shuffle button

Bucket List

Keep your ideas for things to do together in one shared list. The widget shuffles one onto your home screen, and when you do it, tick it off with a Pip as proof.

Next Moment widget: Our anniversary, in 12 days

Moments

Anniversaries, birthdays, the next trip. Moments count down to the dates you care about and remind you both ahead of time.

Widgets, everywhere you look

Pips, the Pet, Moments and the Bucket List each have a widget, and every widget has a look for tinted and clear home screens.
