Your partner's mood, on your lock screen.

A little lobster tells you how they feel. Share yours in one tap, with a word or a photo if you like.

How it works

Step 1

Invite your partner

Sign in with Apple, pick your partner in your contacts, and a link goes by Messages. They open it and you're paired.

Step 2

Add the widget

Put Lobsters on your lock screen or home screen. That's where the magic is: their mood, without opening anything.

Step 3

Share how you feel

Slide from 1 to 5, add a word or a photo if you like. Your partner gets a gentle notification, and can answer from it.

Pick your character together

Five characters change with your mood. The couple picks one, and each of you picks a color for the history chart.

Good

Just the two of you

Private by design

Only you and your partner see your moods, words and photos. No ads, no tracking, no analytics.

Light on your phone

Photos are shrunk on your iPhone to about one megapixel before they're sent. A small visual note, not a photo album.

Your history follows you

Your account is your Apple ID: change phones and everything comes back.

Delete anytime

Menu ⋯ › Delete my account removes your account and all your moods for good.

Questions

Why “Lobsters”?

Because lobsters mate for life. Or at least, that's what Phoebe says.

Does my partner need an iPhone?

Yes, Lobsters is an iPhone app for now.

How often can I share my mood?

As often as you like. If a whole day goes by, Lobsters gently reminds you (never at night).

I got an invitation but the app opened without pairing.

Open the invitation link again from Messages: now that Lobsters is installed, it opens the app and pairs you.
