Long Goodbye: Couple Widget

Draw on your partner's lock screen from the other side of the world. The Long Goodbye is the LDR couple app that puts your handwriting on the lock screen they see a hundred times a day, keeps their local time on your home screen, and counts down the days until you're together again.

WHAT'S INSIDE

• Draw on their lock screen: write "good morning" or a heart and it lands on your partner's lock screen, even with their phone locked and the app closed

• Couple lock screen: their clock and time of day, your photo, their latest drawing and the days until your reunion

• Live wallpaper: their clock keeps ticking right on your lock screen

• Couple widget for your home screen: their local time, their last tap and the countdown, one glance away

• "Thinking of you" taps: one tap lights up their widget, no words needed

• Reunion countdown: count down to the next visit, down to the time the flight lands

• Photo moments, notes and audio postcards that arrive like postcards, with replies

• Countdowns for visits, deployments and visa waits, with milestones and OPSEC mode

• Good hours to call, and moment labels and shared albums

DRAW ON LOCK SCREEN, NOT IN A CHAT

A text gets read and scrolled away. A drawing on their lock screen stays where they look all day: when the alarm goes off, on the bus, before they fall asleep. Open the composer, pick a pen, draw, send. Next time you open it, your last drawing is still there to add to or clear. Every drawing is also saved on both your timelines, so the notes you trade become a keepsake.

THE COUPLE LOCK SCREEN

Choose the person, choose the photo behind it, and set it as your lock screen. Pick a live wallpaper so their clock keeps real time, or a still one that refreshes whenever a new drawing arrives. "Together for 1,204 days" sits under the two of you, next to the days left until you meet.

MADE FOR THE DISTANCE

Apart for school, work, military service or deployment, a visa wait, or oceans and time zones in between? The Long Goodbye is built for couples who love across the gap: students abroad, immigrants, deployed partners, couples who met online, and every LDR couple counting down to the next hug.

PARTNER LOCAL TIME WIDGET

Time zones are the daily friction of every LDR. Your partner's local time and their time of day live on your home screen, so you know whether it's breakfast or 3am there before you call. The widget keeps time on its own.

COUNTDOWNS FOR EVERY KIND OF WAIT

Count down to the next visit, a deployment homecoming or the end of a visa wait. Add the stops along the way (R&R, the interview), watch the bar pass halfway, and share a card with family. OPSEC mode keeps the date off your widget, your lock screen and anything you share.

GOOD HOURS TO CALL

See when you're both awake and both free, in your time with theirs beside it, for the whole week. One tap suggests a call with the time in both your clocks.

MOMENTS, LABELLED AND IN ALBUMS

Label photos, voice and notes ("first visit", "Lisbon") and gather them into albums you both keep.

YOUR PEOPLE

With Together+, keep more than one person close: a partner, a best friend, a parent. Each is a private 1:1 connection with its own label, widget and lock screen. Nobody on your list can see anyone else, and no couple ever becomes a group.

PRIVACY

No feed, no ads, nothing public. The Long Goodbye shares between the two of you only what you choose to share.

TOGETHER+

Free to start: pairing, their time, taps, the couple widget, one countdown, and their clock, last tap and countdown on your lock screen. Together+ unlocks drawing on their lock screen, your photo and "together for" on the lock screen, unlimited photo moments, audio postcards, premium themes, multiple and recurring countdowns and up to 10 connections, with a 7-day free trial on the annual plan. One purchase covers both of you. Plans and local pricing are shown in the app.

The goodbyes are long. The countdown makes them shorter.
