Download Hugsy
Free. No profile-building, no swiping, no feed.
Invite your partner
One tap sends them a WhatsApp link. They install, tap once, you’re paired.
Partner not online yet? We’ll hold your daily question and answers until they’re back. Nothing’s wasted.
Show up daily
One question. One memory. One thumb on the screen. That’s the whole habit.
What’s inside
Small rituals. Big closeness.
Daily Question
A question a day, written for couples like you. Answer separately, reveal together.
Thumb Kiss
Press your screen. They feel it on theirs. That’s it. That’s the magic.
Memory Vault
Save the moments that mattered. Find them again on ‘this day, a year ago.’
Gentle Streak
A number that quietly tells you: we’re showing up for each other. Never punitive.
Chat & Topics
Conversations that go past ‘wyd’ and ‘khaana khaya?’
Shared Canvas
Doodle together, in real time, even when you’re 1,400 km apart.
Early couples
Friends of Hugsy are excited about it.
Real reactions from couples in our early circle. We’re collecting more stories as we go. If you’re using Hugsy and want to share, write to us.
“We’ve been long-distance for three years. The daily question is the only reason we have something to talk about that isn’t ‘khaana khaya?’”
“Arranged marriage, met two months before the wedding. Hugsy gave us something to do together while I was still in Lucknow and he was in Dubai.”
“The thumb kiss thing sounds silly until you do it. Then you do it every night.”
FAQ
Questions couples ask us.
Does my partner have to install Hugsy too?
Yes. It’s a two-person app, that’s the whole point. The invite is one tap (a WhatsApp link) and takes about 60 seconds. If they don’t join in 24 hours, we hold your daily answers so nothing’s wasted.
We already chat all day on WhatsApp. Why another app?
Hugsy isn’t another chat app. WhatsApp is for logistics: ‘what to make for dinner’, ‘meeting overran’. Hugsy is the five minutes a day that aren’t about logistics: one real question, one shared memory, one quiet thumb kiss.
What are the 2000+ conversation starters actually like?
Written for Indian couples, not translated from American ones. They cover what real couples actually talk (and don’t talk) about: parents, money, the wedding, who calls whose family this Sunday, what you’d change about how you grew up. Light when you want, deep when you’re ready.
Can anyone else see our memories or chats?
Nothing is public. There is no profile, no followers, no ‘discover couples nearby’ feed. Your memories and conversations stay between you and your partner. Lock the app with a PIN or hide the icon during a family visit (coming soon).
My partner isn’t really into apps like this. Will they actually use it?
Most partners aren’t, at first. The thumb kiss usually wins them over by day two. If they don’t open the app, you’ll still get one nudge a day. No spammy notifications, no streak threats.
Is Hugsy free?
Yes. The core daily ritual is free forever: question, thumb kiss, memories, streak, chat. Hugsy Plus (one subscription covers both of you) adds unlimited memories, AI-personalised questions, and a few partner-privacy extras.
iPhone and Android, both?
Both. They sync in real time. Mixed pair (one iPhone, one Android) works exactly the same as a same-platform pair.
What happens to our data if we break up?
You can leave or pause the pair anytime from inside the app, no support email needed. Your data is yours; you can export the memories you contributed and delete the rest. We won’t hold anything hostage.
Today’s a good day to show up.
Send your partner a link. We’ll take it from there. About 60 seconds, start to first thumb kiss.
