Emote: Mood Check-ins
Close friends. Real feelings.
Only for iPhone

Emote is a tiny, private space for the people who already get you.
No public feed. No follower counts. No performing for an audience. Just a simple question, once in a while: how are you feeling?
Pick a mood — happy, chill, drained, excited, anxious, sad, focused, or overwhelmed — add a short note if you want, and share it with your close friends. They can send a private reaction back: a hug, a "same", a "here for you". Then it disappears. Every emote is gone in 24 hours.
WHY EMOTE FEELS DIFFERENT
• Moods, not posts. A check-in takes two taps and says more than a photo. • Gone tomorrow. Emotes expire after 24 hours, so sharing stays light. • Private by design. Reactions and replies unlock only when you and a friend follow each other. Nothing is public, ever. • Real signals. Reply with a hug, a mood, or a private note — visible only to the two of you.
YOUR PEOPLE, YOUR CIRCLES
• Keep your circle tiny: mutual follows only. • Create private lists like Close Friends for even smaller audiences. • Open a Couple Space — a private corner for just you and your person, with their moods marked by a heart.
YOUR PRIVATE DIARY
Your own moods are never lost. Emote keeps them just for you, as a color-filled calendar — a quiet diary of how your days actually felt. Build a check-in streak, look back on any day, and watch the months fill with color.
AND THE LITTLE THINGS
• A home-screen widget with your current mood and streak. • Gentle daily reminders (only if you want them). • Notifications when a friend reacts or replies. • Beautiful in light and dark.
PRIVACY FIRST
No ads. No tracking. No analytics SDKs. No selling your data. You can block or report anyone, and delete your account — and everything with it — at any time. Sign in with Apple keeps your email private if you choose.
Emote is for feelings, not performances. Check in with the people who already get you.
Emote opens faster and stays with you a little more kindly.
• Home is ready as soon as you come back — no long splash
• Your last check-in is still there if you’re offline
• Delete an emote if you change your mind
• Six new moods: grateful, lonely, angry, meh, proud, and sleepy
• See how many people responded, without the note getting squeezed
• Threads, reactions, and a few taps (like People search) behave the way you’d expect
