One emoji. Your friends. Real-time vibes. No chat, just presence.
Paperclip: one emoji, for the friends you choose.
Share how you're doing with a single emoji. See your friends' emoji the moment they change. No chat, no feed of strangers, no likes. Just presence.
GETTING YOUR PEOPLE IN
• Invite links and QR codes. Tap a friend's link, get the app, paste, and you're in their feed
• Find friends who are already here from your phone number or contacts (both optional)
• Screenshot your Messages list and Paperclip suggests who to invite. Names are read on your iPhone and never uploaded
• Add by @username, or pair with someone nearby
A STATUS THAT KEEPS ITSELF FRESH (optional)
Auto status can pick your emoji for you when you haven't in a while: asleep, out for a run, in a meeting, listening to music. Paperclip works with Apple Health: with your permission it reads sleep, workouts, steps, daylight, activity rings and more, on your iPhone, to choose one emoji. Your Health readings never leave your phone. Friends see only the emoji, marked "auto," and a one-word hint. It learns the emoji YOU use for each kind of moment, on your phone, and you can tell it "Bad pick." It starts on "Ask me first," and you can turn it off any time.
