Lock Screen drawings
Draw on your partner's Lock Screen.
Ourio is a lock screen drawing app for couples. You draw on a canvas that shows your partner's Lock Screen, clock and wallpaper included. When you send it, they get a notification and the drawing appears in Ourio's Drawing widget on their Lock Screen or Home Screen. Seven ink colors, one free.
How it works
Tap + and choose Draw
The canvas shows your partner's wallpaper, big clock and date.
Draw with a finger
Undo, erase, clear, change the ink or the wallpaper. If they're drawing too, you see their strokes live.
Send it
They get “A new drawing on your lock screen”, and the Drawing widget shows it.
A canvas that is their Lock Screen
You see exactly where your doodle will sit next to the clock. Set the background to a paper color or to a photo from your Moments, then draw over it.
If you both have the canvas open at the same time, you see each other's strokes as they happen, with “is drawing…” at the top. It's the closest thing to sitting next to each other with one sheet of paper.
How it reaches their Lock Screen
iOS doesn't let any app change your wallpaper, so drawings arrive through a widget. Your partner adds Ourio's Drawing widget once: to the Lock Screen, or to the Home Screen in small, medium or large. Each new drawing updates it before the notification even shows, with “Tap to draw one back”.
Seven inks
Graphite is free. The others belong to the two of you once bought with coins:
| Ink | Price |
|---|---|
| Graphite | Free |
| Rose, Sea, Moss, Ember | 60 coins each |
| Plum | 90 coins |
| Gold | 120 coins |
Notes on Mochi's board
For something to keep, write a note. Type, or turn the pen on and draw; pick a paper color and add a stamp and seal. It goes up on Mochi's board in the room, your partner is notified, and the Note widget shows their latest note on your Lock Screen. Each note earns 5 coins.
Questions
Can I draw on my partner's Lock Screen with an app?
Yes. With Ourio your drawing appears in the Drawing widget on their Lock Screen or Home Screen, with a notification. They add the widget once.
Does the drawing change my partner's wallpaper?
No. iOS doesn't let apps change the wallpaper, so the drawing lives in Ourio's widget on top of it.
Can we draw at the same time?
Yes. When you both have the canvas open, you see each other's strokes live.
Does it work on Android?
No. Ourio is iPhone-only for now, so both of you need an iPhone on iOS 18 or later.
