Sea Pals is a free long-distance friends app with friends widgets on iPhone, photo sharing, a shared virtual pet and little moments to keep. Connect with a friend or partner you already know by link or code, then see their local time, send weather to their island or make a booth strip from two phones. Stay close between longer conversations.
Choose each other for the Friend widget on iPhone to see an island, local time, note, latest camera photo and your Doori. Boop Doori, poke your friend or send rain without opening the app. From the app, you can also send snow or petals to their island. Their local time helps you choose when to write across time zones.
If you both pick up the same sea glass or other tide find on the same day, Sea Pals records a “same tide” moment for each of you. It is a small coincidence to keep from your different islands.
The app’s booth lets each of you take your own cuts on your own phone, making one 4-cut strip together in a seasonal frame. One camera also sends a photo to a friend’s iPhone Home Screen widget. Letter friends need 5 qualifying text messages each and the receiver’s yes before photos; for a browser photo booth on one phone, use the free /booth tool linked below.
Raise Doori, a hermit crab, with a friend or partner you already know. Its shell grows with time and the sea glass earned from replies. When your chat rests, Doori naps and keeps its shell.
A lagoon is a group chat for up to 6 people, including invitations waiting for a yes. Only a friend can invite you, and you choose whether to join. Everyone’s local time and weather appear on the lagoon’s island, and translation helps where the phone and language pair support it.
Sunday Tide gathers photos, strips, finds, Doori moments, postcards and letters from your week. On Sunday evening in your local time, a week with moments washes up as a crate on your island. The Book also keeps chat memories, strips, friends’ pages and your private mood calendar.
