Questions & things to do

Better questions than “how was your day?”

One warm question at a time. Answer apart, reveal together, just you two.

A day inside the app

You each answer alone. Nothing shows until you are both in.

Today’s question

What small thing made you smile this week?

Julia

Seeing the plant on the windowsill finally flower.

Orane

You laughing at your own joke before the punchline.

Answers stay hidden until you have both replied. Then you see them together.

The questions do the talking

A few of the 723, straight from the app’s own packs.

  • Sweet

    What’s a tiny thing I do that you secretly love?

  • Play

    If we entered a two-person talent show tonight, what’s our act?

  • Everyday Ours

    What’s a five-minute thing we could do together every single day?

  • Sweet

    When do I look happiest to you?

  • Real Talk

    What’s something you’re quietly proud of right now?

  • Play

    What would our friendship be called if it were a sitcom?

Sweet, Play, and Everyday Ours come with the romantic lane; Real Talk and its own Play pack come with the friendship lane. 28 packs in all.

How it works

The good conversations rarely start themselves. This is a nudge, not a quiz.

Two overlapping glossy blush speech bubbles 1

Pick your lane

Choose romantic or friendship when you set up. The prompts, notes, and ideas are worded for the kind of closeness you actually want.

A glossy envelope closed with a heart seal 2

Answer apart

Each of you writes your own answer in your own time. No peeking, no rushing, and no pressure to be profound.

Two glossy coffee mugs with curls of steam 3

Reveal together

Once both answers are in, you see them side by side. A small moment that’s just yours, with no score for the relationship at the end.

Your shared story

Notes, dates, and memories, kept in one place.

One phone, or two

Hand it over across the sofa, or keep your own phone. Both work.

Pass the phone. Our Little Thing works on a single phone. You answer, you hand it over, you reveal together. Nothing has to leave the device for that.

Or pair up. Partner pairing is optional and off unless you choose it. If you pair with someone, each of you keeps your own phone, and the shared records that travel between you are encrypted on your device first. The pairing service is designed not to receive your plain answers.

Photos you attach to memories stay on your phone. They are not part of the encrypted partner record flow.

Private by design

Your answers stay on your device. Our Little Thing contains no advertising SDKs and no remote behavioural analytics. Used on one phone, nothing about your answers, notes, or memories is sent anywhere for the app to work.

If you choose partner pairing, the service handles account credentials and the metadata it needs to connect the two of you: pair membership, key fingerprints, entitlement ownership, and your encrypted shared records. Encryption reduces exposure, but no security measure is perfect. Read the full privacy policy for exactly what is stored and when.

Sharing safely

Share your invite code only with the person you mean to share it with, and know that disconnecting a pair cannot undo what someone already saw.

Read the full sharing-safely note

If you pair, you decide who gets your invite code. Share it only with the person you mean to share it with. A paired partner may see content you choose to share through the paired experience.

Disconnecting cannot undo what someone already saw. Revoking or disconnecting a pair can stop future access. It cannot retract information the other person already saw, remembered, photographed, or separately saved.

Do not use Our Little Thing to threaten, harass, monitor, coerce, or endanger another person.

Pairing is optional. If using a shared feature could place you at risk, use the local-only features on one phone, or stop using the paired service.

If you are in danger or need urgent help, contact your local emergency services. This app and its support inbox are not an emergency service. The full wording is in section 4 of the terms.

Read the full wellness note

Our Little Thing is a general wellness and entertainment tool. It is not a medical device and does not provide medical, psychological, diagnostic, or therapeutic services. It is not relationship therapy or counselling, and nothing in the app is a substitute for professional advice. Seek qualified help when appropriate.

Questions people ask us

Do we both need the app?

No. Our Little Thing works on one phone: answer, hand it over, reveal together. Pairing two phones is optional and only happens if you choose it.

Is Premium a subscription?

Yes. Premium is a monthly or yearly subscription that renews automatically until you cancel it through the App Store or Google Play. Deleting the app does not cancel it.

What’s the difference between the romantic and friendship lanes?

You choose one when you set up. It changes the wording throughout. The same 150 ideas read as date ideas for romance and things to do for friendship, and the prompts and notes are tailored to match.

Can my partner see everything?

A paired partner may see content you choose to share through the paired experience. Disconnecting or revoking a pair can stop future access, but it cannot retract anything they already saw or saved. See sharing safely.

Does it score our relationship?

No. You can look back through your shared story, but the app does not rate, rank, or grade the relationship.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. You can export a backup file at any time. It is an ordinary JSON file that stays on your device unless you move it somewhere yourself, and the app does not encrypt it, so store it somewhere you trust. Note that the backup does not make your memory photo files portable; those stay on the phone.
