TA to TE
Nudge a friend. No words.
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Can't text? Can't call? Send a nudge instead.
Send a friend a nudge when you can't chat or call.
TA to TE is a pager for the emoji age. One tap sends a short buzz to someone you're close to — no message to write, no reply expected, nothing to leave on read.
Set your own status so people know what you're up to without asking.
Up to 6 friends. This one is for the people you're always with.
Use it on a break, at lunch, on the way home. When you can't meet, your status alone says you're fine.
Save up to 18 short phrases and send one in a tap. You can reply straight from the notification, too.
Works on Apple Watch, and from a widget on your Home or Lock Screen without opening the app.
Emoji instead of sentences. Closer than a chat app, lighter than a call.
more Canned messages are now 18 slots, 6 characters each. The cards are split left and right: pick one from the left and one from the right and they join into a single signal of up to 12 characters. Both halves are yours to rewrite, so you can build a signal that only the two of you use.
You can now set 13 emoji of your own. The Tatomaker and Tatotimer entrances moved to the second emoji card.
Apple Watch now matches the iPhone: same count, same layout, same way of working.
The eraser in the editor no longer closes the screen. It only clears what you typed, so you can rewrite straight away. Pressing the check mark while empty clears that slot.
Fixed the top of Settings turning white when a wallpaper is set.

Tatoge is here. When your hearts run out, a small catch game appears: chicks fall and you catch them. Every chick you catch brings a heart back. There is no purchase involved. It sits alongside watching a video and receiving a gift as one more way to get hearts back.
Tatoe, the wordless walkthrough, has been rebuilt. The highlight now sits exactly on the real control, and the X in the corner really stops it. Getting hearts back, and sharing them with a friend, are explained too.
The Tatoropper board now shows when a note was posted and when it was answered.
You can now sign out on this device from Settings.

Tatoe is here. Tap "?" in Settings and a finger and arrows appear over the real screen to show you where to tap and what it does. No words are used. Just keep tapping Next and you will see how to send, how it arrives, and how to share.
Tatoropper is here. From "Need help?" in Settings you can post a 10-character request straight to the developer, and you get a notice when it is answered.
Even with no friends yet, Tatoe lays out samples so it still makes sense.
1.0.20 2d ago
The row of buttons at the bottom is now a floating glass bar. It has the same margin on both sides and below, so you no longer have to reach the very edge of the screen.
When you sent a meetup timer from Apple Watch, the place you set for an earlier timer could show up on the new one. A place now belongs only to its own timer.
The wording around the video that refills your tatokens is fixed. It now says 60, and if the confirmation never comes back it tells you instead of waiting forever.
1.0.19 4d ago
The app icon now carries a badge. The number is how many meetup timers you have running, and it clears when they are done. It never counts nudges you received.
The video that refills your tatokens has changed. You choose whether to watch before it starts, and watching it through refills you to 60. Choosing not to watch costs you nothing.
The pictures in the guide were redrawn to match the real screens.
When you shared tatokens and the connection dropped partway, your own count could stay down. Whatever did not reach your friend now always comes back to you.
Apple Watch fixes are included: text you typed in the edit screen was invisible, and a meetup did not show up on the other person's Watch right away.
1.0.18 6d ago
Your tatoken limit is now 60, up from 20. You can tap up to 60 times in a row for one friend. Daily gifts and videos now restore up to 60, and you can share more with a friend. On Apple Watch, a chick flies across the whole screen for every tatoken you receive.
1.0.17 Sep 5
You can now share tatokens with a friend. Press and hold your tatoken counter, drag it onto a friend, and choose how many to give. Holding a friend's row works too. Their tatokens come back by that many, and that many chicks burst across their screen.
You can only give as much room as they have left. If they are full, nothing leaves you. A friend's remaining tatokens show in the ring around their button.
Saved phrases went from 5 slots to 10, laid out as two rows of five with a meetup timer at the right end of each row. You can now keep two meetup timers at once. The five in the top row are the ones offered from a notification.
Circles are one step smaller, and the gaps at the edges now match the gaps between them.
The full refill on download is gone. Tatokens come back through the daily gift, a video, or a friend sharing theirs.
1.0.16 Sep 3
Meetup timers are here. Tap the clock at the right end of your saved phrases, set a time and a place (up to 10 characters), and send it. The countdown shows on your screen and theirs.
Whoever receives it answers with one of two pictures: coming, or can't make it. Coming outlines the bar in pink; can't make it turns it grey. The sender can swipe the bar left to call it off. The bar disappears once the time passes, but the time and place stay in your log.
Apple Watch can answer a meetup timer with the same two pictures, and shows the place too.
Saved phrases went from 6 slots to 5. The rightmost slot is now the meetup clock.
The log looks different. Names are gone, replaced by a circle with the first letter, so a screenshot no longer shows who your friends are. Saved phrases are now readable in the row itself, without opening anything. Apple Watch shows the same layout.
1.0.15 Sep 2
You can now pick a language. Tap a flag on the Language card in Settings and the app switches over. 30 countries, 21 languages. Choose Arabic and the whole layout mirrors right to left.
Screen headings are pictures now. The band across the top shows what you can do on that screen without reading a word, and the guide in Settings walks through everything with pictures and arrows.
TA to WA is here — a call for the moments a saved phrase can't cover. Numbers are exchanged only when both of you turn the switch on; one side alone is not enough. To call, drag your friend's profile picture all the way to the right on the Friends screen. Calls go over FaceTime Audio, so there are no call charges. It works from Apple Watch too.
When your Tato-tokens come back, Kokko-chan bursts across the screen.
While "paused for today" is on, friends no longer see that you opened Tatote.
The Apple Watch Tatolog now shows the text of saved phrases you received. Today comes first, and the calendar takes you back. We also fixed Tato Maker drawings sometimes not appearing on Apple Watch.
Emoji slots no longer sit empty.
The Live Activity on the Lock Screen is gone — it could stay there until you opened the app. Notifications arrive as before, and a long press still lets you reply on the spot.
1.0.14 Aug 31
TA to WA is here — a call for the moments a saved phrase can't cover.
In TA to WA settings, your number reaches a friend only when you both turn the switch on. One side alone sends nothing. To call, drag their photo all the way right on the TA to MO screen. Calls go over FaceTime Audio, so there are no call charges. You can call from Apple Watch as well.
While "paused for today" is on, friends are no longer told that you opened the app.
On Apple Watch, TA to log now shows the text of a phrase you received.
Settings now include a visual guide. Pictures and arrows only — you can see what the app does at a glance.
Nudges no longer stay on the Lock Screen, because they sometimes would not clear until you opened them. Notifications still arrive, and a long press still lets you reply on the spot.
1.0.12 Aug 29
タトワを追加しました。定型文では足りない場面のための通話です。
タトワ設定でおたがいがスイッチを入れたときだけ、電話番号が相手に渡ります。片方だけでは渡りません。掛けるときは、タトモ画面で相手のプロフィール画像を右へ引き切ります。通話はFaceTimeオーディオなので、通話料はかかりません。Apple Watchからも掛けられます。
「今日は停止」中は、あなたがタトてを開いたことも友達へ知らせなくなりました。
Apple Watchのタトログで、届いた定型文の本文が読めるようになりました。当日ぶんが最初に出て、カレンダーで過去へ遡れます。
設定に機能説明を追加しました。絵と矢印だけで、できることが一目で分かります。
ロック画面に出ていたタトの表示をやめました。開くまで消えないことがあったためです。通知はこれまでどおり届き、通知を長押しすればその場で返せます。
1.0.10 Aug 27
KYOを追加しました。今日の写真を1枚だけタトモに見せられます。写真をあげると、友達の画面であなたのアイコンにカラフルな円がつき、タップすると写真が画面いっぱいに開きます。Apple Watchでも見られます。
写真は日付が変わると自動で消えます。残りません。消える時刻はあなたのiPhoneの日付に合わせます。
「今の状態」を、友達にどう見えるかを確かめられる形にまとめました。「今日は停止」はタトモへ移り、停止中は自分のカードも灰色で表示されます。
タトメーカーは「タトる絵文字」を作る道具になりました。これまでに描いた作品はそのまま残っています。

通知に返信ボタンがつきました。
届いた通知に出るボタンを押すだけで、アプリを開かずにそのまま返事を送れます。Apple Watchなら通知が出た時点でボタンが見えているので、腕を上げて1回押すだけで返せます。
Apple Watchを3画面にしました。
画面を縦にスライドするか、ダイヤルを回すと「タトる絵文字」「タトモ」「残りタトークン」が切り替わります。タトモには友達が全員出るようになりました。タトる絵文字もWatchだけで選べます。文字盤に置くアイコンも、アプリと同じ絵になりました。
このほかの改善:
・送信してから相手に届くまでを短くしました
・友達申請やタトモの解除が、相手の画面にもすぐ反映されるようになりました
・マナーモードで振動しないときの設定案内を追加しました
・端末の通知登録が失われても自動で復帰するようにしました
・アカウントを削除できないことがあったのを直しました
・タトークンの画面の表示を整えました
1.0.6 Aug 21
タトメーカーを追加しました。96×96ドットで、自分だけのオリジナル絵文字を描けます。2つまで作れて、左は「今の状態」、右は「タトる絵文字」に使えます。写真から作ることもできます。
友達の名前の右に、最終利用(オンライン/最後に使った時間)を常に表示するようにしました。表示名は3文字までになりました(登録済みの名前はそのままです)。
タトログ(送受信の記録)を引っ張って更新できるようにしました。送信・受信のタイミングでも自動的に最新の状態へ更新されます。
通知音・振動が正しく届かない不具合、オリジナル絵文字がタトログに表示されない不具合、絵文字を続けて選んだときに表示が乱れる不具合を修正しました。
1.0.5 Aug 18
設定画面に、現在のバージョンとApp Storeの最新バージョンを確認できるカードを追加しました。更新がある場合は、そのままApp Storeを開けます。
友達の状態やタトークン残量がより早く反映されるよう改善し、画面表示と通信の安定性を高めました。
広告を最後まで見ると、同じ日でもタトークンを使い切るたびに20まで回復できます。
1.0.3 Aug 16
・招待QRコードを読み取るだけで、未インストールの友達もApp Storeの「タトて」ページへ案内できるようになりました。
・リワード広告を視聴した時の回復量を20タトークンに変更しました。
1.0.2 Aug 15
App Storeの紹介文とスクリーンショットを更新しました。
