Questions about Ourio

Ourio is a free iPhone app for couples. You share one cozy room and a cat named Mochi. When you pet her, draw, leave a note or send a photo, it shows up on your partner's iPhone, often right on their Lock Screen through a widget.

Yes. Ourio is free to download and has no in-app purchases or subscription. Coins for furniture come from doing things together.

Two iPhones on iOS 18 or later, one for each of you. Ourio is iPhone-only for now: there is no Android or iPad version.

No. Ourio has no chat and no feed. You do small things for Mochi and for each other, and they arrive quietly.

Ourio is in English and available on the US App Store.

Most couples apps are a private chat or a shared calendar. Ourio is built around a shared room and a cat you look after together, with the planner (lists, wishlists, calendar, date night) and games around her, and no chat at all.

One of you opens Ourio and gets a 10-character code. The other types it into Ourio on their phone within 24 hours, or scans it as a QR code. A room holds exactly two people.

No. Ourio creates an anonymous account with no email or password and keeps its key in your iCloud Keychain. You can link Sign in with Apple later to save your cat and notes.

The shared room, with its notes, photos, cat and activity, is deleted for both of you. Each of you keeps the inks and pieces you bought and half the coins. You can pair again with a new code.

Yes, if your iCloud Keychain moved with you or you linked Sign in with Apple: open Ourio on the new phone and it finds your account.

Yes. Everything one of you does reaches the other phone over the internet, wherever you both are, and a drawing appears on your partner's Lock Screen widget.

Nothing bad. Mochi never gets sick or sad because you were away. If your love streak breaks, you can bring it back once a month.

Yes. Your drawing appears in Ourio's Drawing widget on their Lock Screen or Home Screen, with a notification. iOS doesn't let any app change the wallpaper itself, so they add the widget once.

Who knows who, a daily round of five questions about one of you, and Draw & guess, where one draws a word and the other spells it from letter tiles. Both are free and turn-based.

Yes. The Us tab has shared lists (To watch, Groceries, Places to go, Places to eat, To read, Bucket list and your own), wishlists with secret gifting, a shared calendar, countdowns and date night ideas you swipe together.

Yes, six: the room with Mochi, the cat with a smart block, a single block, an Us widget for the Lock Screen, your partner's latest note and their latest drawing. There are also Control Center buttons to pet your cat or write a note.

By doing things together: caring for Mochi, notes, photos, ticking list items, date ideas you both love, rating dates, gifts from wishlists and the games. A new pair starts with 560 coins.

No. Ourio has no in-app purchases. Coins have no cash value and belong to the two of you.

Your account is anonymous: Ourio never receives your name or email. It keeps the notes, drawings, photos and lists you share so they reach your partner, and only a one-way hash of your pairing code. No ads, no tracking, no AI training on your content.

Settings › Delete account. Your account and what you sent are deleted from the server, your partner is unpaired and everything on the phone is erased. This can't be undone.
